sweeper, and traffic control equipment such as truck mounted attenuators and portable changeable message signs. The
equipment used would result in sounds levels up to 97 dBA when measured 50 feet away from the source. The purpose

515, SR 167, SR 161, SR 18, SR 523, SR 520, I-405, SR 202, I-90, and I-5 ramps. Within Renton city-limits, work will occur
