Reports on Special and Outside Committees
2.
|
Ms. Patterson reported on the South County Area Transportation Board. The Board received an |
|
update from South Transit on the planning effort of Phase II. The Board discussed the extending |
|
light rail south of the airport to Highline Community College as part of South Transit Phase II. Ms. |
|
Patterson shared that the number of trains are being expanded. The need for transit is tremendous |
|
for South King County. |
|
Ms. Patterson reported on the Regional Transportation Leadership Group. Ms. Patterson explained |
|
that the group is comprised of business, labor, environmental and political leaders from around the |
|
region at the suggestion of Representative Ed Murray . Their purpose is to attempt to reach a |
|
consensus of what changes to ask for in RTID at the next legislative session. The group is preparing |
|
a draft proposal with recommendations, which they hope will receive Council approval and then |
|
eventually be forwarded to the County Executive of each county. Ms. Patterson shared one |
|
discussion that hasn't reached consensus is the idea of allowing RTID to operate buses and whether |
|
the use of revenues can be used for transit operation. |
|
Mr. Irons reported on Central Puget Sound Economic Development District Board. The Board was |
|
briefed on the 2006-2007 budget by Bill McSherry. Mr. Irons noted four projects were narrowed |
|
down from a large list to be submitted for grants with the federal government. The specific projects |
|
were the City of Seattle South Lake Union Streetcar, the City of Everett Riverfront Improvements, the |
|
City of Pacific Road Corridor Improvement and a sewer improvement for the Snoqualmie area to |
|
facilitate a Snoqualmie Tribe Casino. Mr. Irons and Commissioner Patty Lent reported on an |
|
update to Vision 2020 Plus 10 from the PSRC and GMPC covering growth, economic development, |
|
land use, and transportation and asked the economic development district to give its input. |
|
Mr. Irons reported on Eastside Transportation Partnership meeting. The meeting covered an update |
|
from Ms. Patterson on Sound Transit. One area of concern was the discussion of eliminating the |
|
subarea equity that is starting to move forward and is of great concern to the Partnership. As he is |
|
leaving the Eastside Transportation Partnership, Mr. Irons urged the members to put together a |
|
nominating committee and a strong work plan. |
|
Ms. Edmonds reported on the Seattle-North King County Transportation Board. The Board had two |
|
guests. Mary Alice Burleigh, the Mayor of Kirkland discussed the benefits of a joint legislative |
|

|

|
