Most projects on the complete list of needs are multimodal (not just for cars). Future Vehicle Congestion • Community outreach indicated a stronger interest in multimodal connections as compared to vehicle capacity to address congestion • We recommend addressing future congestion through intersection improvements as feasible and policies to allow for increased congestion at key bottlenecks in Southcenter. Parking near Transit • Partnerships with Sound Transit (ST) have funded multimodal projects, and the infill station is anticipated to have 300 parking stalls • Rather than large capital investments, the plan recommends monitoring and coordination with ST. • The plan does not preclude parking,the Council could pursue further and staff could could facilitate in 2025 Planning for Freight • Community members frequently mentioned concerns about trucks on Tukwila streets • The plan touches lightly on truck parking and anticipates the City will leverage Allentown Truck Study Planning for Freight • We recommend the following in the plan: • Coordinate with local stakeholders to address truck parking needs. • Develop a plan to address competing needs along freight corridors that prioritize functions based on adjacent land use. Funding • Funding alternatives could include: • Transportation benefit district (TBD) sales tax • TBD car tab fee • Other utility taxes (in addition to the sewer tax) • Dedicated transportation property tax levy • Local improvement district Sz5,000,060 26,00o,o0a 515,000,00D Si 6,006,000 $5,0DC.CDC. 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019. 2020 2021 2022 2025 fprciectedl I budget) Expen= —0—Reienues Any questions? • What are your questions on tonight's presentation? • What are your questions about topics covered in the plan? • Have we missed anything?
