Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the sour ce of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washi ngton Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weeke nd hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construct ion
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels betw een 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for

DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: July 25, 2023
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and i mprovements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparati on of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a dista nce of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the sou rce of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems .
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and week end hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construc tion
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete s aw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance fr om RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels res ulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd S t to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the so urce of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Was hington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater system s.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and wee kend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project constru ction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels be tween 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC ) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance f rom RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestri an/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels re sulting from project construction

These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet fro m the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels a t a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and we ekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestria n
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project constr uction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),

DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: July 25, 2023
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet fr om the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conduc ting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Av e S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet fr om the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permis sible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from projec t construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 t o 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that

DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: July 25, 2023
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St i n preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail ) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S fr om S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet f rom the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permi ssible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewa ter systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during nig ht and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from proje ct construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way t o
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 30 0 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S f rom S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum perm issible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trai l (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastew ater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during ni ght and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from proj ect construction

These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime wor k is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noi se Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 3 00 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3 rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of t he noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maxi mum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from pro ject construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvem ents to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime wo rk is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: July 25, 2023
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noi se levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Divi sion”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hou rs beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, for k lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainie r Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the so urce of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend ho urs beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installati on of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Raini er Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard a t 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),

DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: July 25, 2023
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the s ource of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design

Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nig httime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, j ackhammer, compactor (roller),

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8 -7-2 (Noise Level
Regulations, Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and
hours permitted in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements – Phase 4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian
accessibility, and safety. The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl.
The project would include intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two-way conversion
for S 3rd St and S 2nd St, extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd
St, construction of a segment of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Ai rport Way to
1,000 feet north of Airport Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW
3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is
to lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction
activities are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise.
These sound levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a dis tance of 300 feet from the source of
the noise. A variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible
environmental noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of
noise from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for
periods of 1.5 to 15 minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that
would be utilized include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller),
and vacuum truck.

in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton
Document Center website. See also https://cutt.ly/YwpWGtu7
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton
Document Center website. See also https://cutt.ly/YwpWGtu7
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A

DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: July 25, 2023
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: July 25, 2023
PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton
Document Center website. See also https://cutt.ly/YwpWGtu7
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H

Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton
Document Center website. See also https://cutt.ly/YwpWGtu7
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR23-000119 Rainier Ave S Corridor
Improvements: Phase 4 / LUA23-000241, V-H
PROJECT LOCATION: Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton Public Works Department Transportation Design
Engineering Division (“Transportation Division”), is requesting a noise variance from RMC 8-7-2 (Noise Level Regulations,
Maximum Environmental Noise Levels) to work during night and weekend hours beyond the days and hours permitted
in Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-030 to complete construction on the Rainier Ave S Corridor Improvements – Phase
4 project. The purpose of the corridor improvements is to improve transit mobility, pedestrian accessibility, a nd safety.
The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.

The proposed nighttime repair work would be along Rainier Ave S from S 3rd St to NW 3rd Pl. The project would include
intersection improvements at S 3rd St and S 2nd St in preparation of the two -way conversion for S 3rd St and S 2nd St,
extension of the southbound Business Access Transit Lane (BAT Lane) from S 2nd St to S 3rd St, construction of a segment
of a regional pedestrian/bike path trail (Lake Washington Loop Trail) from Airport Way to 1,000 feet north of Airport
Way, installation of pedestrian activated traffic signals (HAWK) at SW Victoria St and NW 3rd Pl, sidewalk widening with
streetscaping, and improvements to city water and wastewater systems.
Approximately 500 non-consecutive working days of nighttime work would be required between now and the
completion of the project, anticipated to be December 31, 2025. The primary reason for conducting nighttime work is to
lessen daytime traffic congestion along Rainier Ave S corridor. Noise levels resulting from project construction activities
are expected to generate peak noise levels of 61 to 92 dBA heard at 50 feet from the source of the noise. These sound
levels are expected to diminish to a range of 45 to 76 decibels at a distance of 300 feet from the source of the noise. A
variance from RMC 8-7-2 is necessary in order to conduct the nighttime work, as maximum permissible environmental
noise levels (per WAC 173-60-040, incorporated by reference in RMC 8-7) limit extended periods of noise from 10:00 pm
to 7:00 am to levels between 45 dBA and 60 dBA, with exceedances of 5 to 15 dBA permitted for periods of 1.5 to 15
minutes in any one-hour period (WAC 173-60-040). Some of the noisiest pieces of equipment that would be utilized
include an excavator, generator, backhoe, concrete saw, fork lift, jackhammer, compactor (roller), and vacuum truck.
