E. S.320th St @ 1st Way S. Intersection Improvements - 30% Design Status Report
Marwan Salloum provided background information. Staff recommends Option 1
Councilman Faison expressed concern with the concept of an intersection with seven lanes in each direction, He
would like to see the round-about (option #2) explored and cornnlented that the intersection only fails its service
level during peak evening hours. He believes the City should prepare to conceptualize the future of these types
of intersections.
Chair Dovey asked how option two would affect city staff and the level of service at the intersection.
Mr. Roe responded that this intersection currently fails the city's level of service. it rates an 'E' and 'F' is
failing. The round-about option would not be able to alleviate the growing volume of traffic at that intersection;
the Comp Plan would have to be revisited and a lower level of service adopted. In addition, the increase ROW
that would need to be purchased would force the relocation of the business in the NW comer of the intersection.
Deputy Mayor Kochmar noted that many residential developments are currently in progress; these new
residents will be using 8 320th and 1 st Way S, and the traffic volume will increase dramatically.
Councilman Faison said he does not know what the answer is but that he would like to look at it globally.
Councilman Park asked what timeline for review Councilman Faison proposes, Councilman Faison said as soon
as possible,
Chair Dovey said he understood Councilman Faison's concerns, but this is an important intersection and
stopping work may cause the city to lose the opportunity to get TIB funding, He suggested the city continue
with the design and ROWand return to the committee for further direction.
Mr. Roe stated that the city can continue to move the project forward and return to the LUTC once the design
and ROW acquisition is complete. The sooner the city is ready to compete on bidding the more likely they are
to get funding,

F. S.356th St. @ SR99 Intersection Improvements - Design Options
Marwan Salloum provided background information. Staff recommends Option 1
Staff recommends the "8" curve solution, option 3, as the most cost effective and impacting local stream and
wetlands the least.
Councilman Faison inquired about the roundabout option, and the experience of the consultant in successfully
putting roundabouts in. Mr. Salloum and Mr. Perez replied that Parametrix purchased SCA- which has an
experienced roundabout designer on staff, and is the only one to successfully install one on a State Highway,
which SR99 is also. The traffic volumes are simply too high to make a roundabout work.
Councilwoman Burbidge asked why the roundabout option moved the intersection to the north. Mr. Perez
answered that the move improves the angels of approach for vehicles entering the proposed roundabout.
Chair Dovey asked if the city pursues option 3 would thcy end up with extra parts of land on both sides of the
new road? Mr. Salloum responded that yes, the city would own the land but most of it would be used as a wet

land buffer, for stream remediation
Councilman Park asked if City Staff recommended Option 1 (alternative 3) due to the cost of the wetlands and
existing business relocation. Mr. Roe noted that Option 1 (Alternative 3) is the one most likely to be accepted
by WSDOT.
