PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, City of Renton, is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review to retrofit
residential neighborhood streets by installing porous concrete sidewalks, new stormwater pipes and structures, and
water quality treatment facilities. The public works project is located along SE 172nd St from 122nd Ave SE to 127th Ave
SE (roughly 1,500 linear feet of roadway); along 122nd Ave SE, 123rd Ave SE, 124th Ave SE, and 125th Ave SE from SE
172nd St to SE 169th Pl for approximately half a block (600 linear feet of roadway each street). The project consists of
installing new conveyance system and green infrastructure to collect and treat stormwater runoff from approximately 2
acres of pollution-generating hard surface. It is estimated that approximately 6,020 cubic yards (CY) of excava tion and
approximately 5,765 CY of fill would be required to complete the project. This project would help restore water quality
within the City of Renton and downstream to Soos Creek, the Green River, and Puget Sound. The project area is currently
used for residential street traffic in the Benson Community Planning Area, east of Cascade Village. Project construction
is estimated to begin on November 1, 2024 and end on October 31, 2025.
