9. SELECTION OF PROJECT CONFIGURATION FOR WASHINGTON AVENUE (5T" STREET
TO MANETTE BRIDGE): Chal Martin, Public Works & Utilities Director, explained that the
City received a $1.7 million bicycle/pedestrian grant from WSDOT to improve a segment of
Washington Avenue between 51 Street and the Manette Bridge.
Over the last several months, three possible configurations emerged:
• Option 1: one vehicular travel lane northbound and southbound
• Option 2: two lanes northbound and one lane southbound
• Option 3: two lanes (northbound only) from 6th Street to the Manette Bridge
At its meeting on July 2, 2014, the Council moved to preliminarily approve Option 2. On July
18, 2014, WSDOT informed the City that if the City changed the project scope to Option 2, the
grant would be cancelled. The City Administration recommends that Council vote to withdraw
its approval of Option 2 and move to approve Option 1.
