He announced that the Salvation Army served over 13,000 people this past year. He invited City officials to tour the Renton food bank and encouraged everyone in the community to attend a fundraiser on June 30, 2009 at the IKEA Performing Arts Center. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Streets: Potential Closure of accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to Benson Rd S consider the potential closure of Benson Rd. S. for bridge replacement work over I-405 as part of the Washington State Department of Transportation I-405, I-5 to SR 169 Stage 2 -Widening and SR 515 Interchange project. Deputy Public Works Administrator-Transportation Peter Hahn introduced project coordinators Chad Brown from the Washington State Department of Transportation, and Alan Brown from the I-405 Corridor Design-Builders team. Chad Brown explained that the project creates new northbound and southbound lanes on I-405 between SR 167 and SR 169, adds a half-diamond interchange at Talbot Rd. S., and reconstructs a portion of Benson Rd. S. He requested an 11- month full closure of Benson Rd. S. stating that closing the road will decrease construction time by half and remove traffic from the work zone, thereby minimizing disruptions to the motoring public. Alan Brown stated that the greatest benefit for closing Benson Rd. S. is the reduction in construction time from 22 months to 11 months. He reported that the proposed project schedule, without the road closure, contains five components including: 1)widening of I-405, 2) a 22-month Benson Rd. S. re- construction element, 3) a new northbound on-ramp, 4)a new southbound off- ramp, and 5)construction on Talbot Rd. S. He also reported that the project will begin in July 2009 and is scheduled to be completed in August 2011. May 1 1;2009 w,,- Renton City Council Minutes ., Page 135 Mr. Brown remarked that without the proposed road closure there will be an overlap of construction occurring on Benson Rd. S. and Talbot Rd. S. He also pointed out that a significant portion of the work will occur at night and a noise variance will be requested from the City. He also remarked that closing the road would reduce the construction time for the new northbound ramp by six months, and for the new southbound ramp by two months. Continuing, Mr.Brown reported that a traffic modeling plan was developed using real-time data from the City of Renton and the Washington State Department of Transportation. He stated that the traffic network was investigated as far south as SR 167 and as far north as SR 169 and that the model assumes that some motorists will use alternative routes. He stated that the detour route moves traffic west on S. Grady Way, north on Talbot Rd. S. and then east on S. Puget Dr. Mr. Brown reported that the following improvements will be made in order to optimize traffic flow on the detour route: 1) implementing traffic signal optimization at eight intersections, 2) creating double right turns from eastbound S. Grady Way onto Talbot Rd.S., 3)increasing the turn-pocket from westbound S. Grady Way onto southbound Talbot Rd. S. to accommodate more vehicles, and 4)improving the double southbound turn lanes from Talbot Rd. S. to S. Puget Dr. He stated that with these traffic mitigations there will only be a two- minute delay beyond what the normal route would take. Mr. Brown also reported that other benefits that will result, but are not associated with the closure include: 1) creating a pedestrian walkway from Benson Rd. S. to Talbot Rd. S., 2) adding a radio controlled emergency access gate for efficient police and fire response, and 3) adding landscape improvements on Talbot Rd. S. He stated that public messaging will occur via the internet, extensive media relations, business and freight outreach, meeting with the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce, setting up booths at summer festivals,reacting to phone calls and emails, and through newsletter mailers. Responding to Councilmember Persson's inquiries, Chad Brown stated that there would be minimal impact to traffic during peak times if the road were to remain open. He responded that although flaggers are not allowed during peak morning and afternoon commuting times, the construction work would be occurring 24 hours per day and would have a significant impact on motorists traveling during non-peak times. Mr. Brown also responded that westbound traffic on S. Grady Way would not back up to the point that it would block left turns onto Wells Ave. S. Correspondence in opposition to the proposed road closure was read from the following individuals: Marilyn J. May(Seattle); A.J.Notcho(city of residence unknown); and Rob Elliot and Vicki Dallosto(Renton). Correspondence in support of the proposed road closure was read from the following individuals: Marilyn Rogers (Renton); Clint Ostler(Renton); John and Evangeline Richardson(Renton); John Summer(Renton); and Paul Scott (Renton). Correspondence citing traffic concerns regarding the proposed road closure was read from the following individuals: James S. Pate(Kent); Dianne Bell (Renton); Andrew Dayton(Renton); Julie Curtis (Renton); Bob Garlough (Renton); and Tony Olszewski (Renton). May 11;2009 +.r Renton City Council Minutes N./ Page 136 Public comment was invited. Martha Duval (Renton) expressed concern regarding the proposed road closure while construction was occurring on Talbot Rd. S. She explained that although the City did a good job clearing snow and ice last winter, S.Puget Dr. is a much steeper road than Benson Rd. S. and asked what precautions the City will take to ensure the road is safe. Bill Taylor(Renton)voiced opposition to the proposed road closure. He remarked that businesses along the Duvall Ave. NE corridor are experiencing tough times and opined that those business owners would have, in retrospect, preferred 24 months of inconvenience compared to the 12 month road closure. Matt Devine(Renton), President, Victoria Park Neighborhood Association, stated that the proposed road closure will severely impact his community. He remarked that he does not believe that the proposed detour route would only add a two-minute delay to travel times. Mr. Devine also opined that the Washington State Department of Transportation does not support Renton residents and that the proposed road closure only benefits the project coordinators and not the citizens of Renton. Responding to Council President Corman's inquiry, Mr. Devine stated that the Victoria Park Neighborhood Association has not voted as a board to oppose the proposed road closure. Dave McCammon(Renton) expressed support for the road closure. He stated that flaggers will be controlling traffic during the time he travels to work and that he will use an alternative route. Benjamin Yu(Renton) voiced support for the road closure. He also expressed concern for the safety of the his neighborhood located at 1100 Eagle Ridge Dr., noting that motorists traveling northbound on Benson Rd. S. may use his cul-de- sac to make a u-turn if they are not aware of the closure. He requested that additional signs warning of the road closure and"No U-Turn" signs be posted in the area. Christina Rosa(Renton) stated that she lives on Benson Rd. S. and expressed dissatisfaction with the answers she received concerning the amount of traffic back-up that will occur due to the closure. She explained that entering Benson Rd. S. from her driveway is difficult enough without the road being closed. Victor Eskenazi (Renton)requested information regarding the new on and off ramps. He remarked that closing the road will cause a greater inconvenience to commuters than to other motorists traveling during non-peak hours. He also opined that it would take longer than two minutes to travel the detour route. Pete Moss (King County) stated that Benson Rd. S. is the only practical route for bicyclists to get to Benson Hill. He asked what type of facilities and/or accommodations will be made available for bicycle commuting. Chad Brown responded that bicycle traffic was not accounted for and was assumed to be able to take the detour route. Dr. Mike Ding(Renton) expressed opposition to the road closure. He stated that an 11 month road closure will severely impact his business which is located in the vicinity of Benson Rd. S. and S. Puget Dr. He also remarked that it is unlikely that the detour route will only add an additional two minutes of travel time. Michael Drollinger(Renton) stated that more information is needed prior to making an informed decision about the proposed road closure. He opined that Benson Rd. S. should be kept open during peak commute times. Mr. Drollinger stated that the Washington State Department of Transportation has not proposed May 11,2009 Noe Renton City Council Minutes Page 137 viable uncongested alternate routes. He also voiced concerns about utilizing the detour route during winter months. Ray Newman(Renton) proposed opening Grant Ave. S. to through-traffic to allow residents who live in the Benson Hill area alternate access to downtown Renton. He explained that the road is now blocked, but access could be granted to ease some of the congestion that would result from construction on Benson Rd. S. Thomas Robinson(Renton)voiced opposition to the proposed road closure and also expressed concern about utilizing the detour route during the winter months. Mike Mayfarth(Renton)proposed using a system of incentives and consequences to ensure that the contractor performs the road improvements in a timely manner. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Councilmember Parker stated that he voted for the closure of Duvall Ave. NE surmising that the closure reduced the impact to local residents,businesses and schools, and saved millions of dollars. He remarked that he was initially supportive of the proposed Benson Rd. S. closure,yet recognized that the two projects have major differences. He pointed out that the overall time-line for the project remains the same whether the road is closed or not. He commented that utilizing flaggers for traffic control during non-peak hours is a viable alternative and that most motorists would use an alternate route to avoid construction delays. He stated that the road closure may benefit the contractor financially; however, the City's first obligation is to its citizens and businesses. Councilmember Taylor stated that economic times were better when the decision to close Duvall Ave. NE was made. He also remarked that he is inclined to be against the proposed closure due to the fact that the detour route is steep and could cause motorists trouble driving to and from their communities during the winter months. MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL OPPOSE THE CLOSURE OF BENSON RD. S. CARRIED. Council President Corman explained that the construction of the added lanes and new on and off ramps is part of an overall plan for I-405 that began approximately ten years ago. He further explained that the plan calls for direct connections from I-405 to SR 167 eliminating the ramps at Rainier Ave. S., resulting in the need for new ramps at Talbot Ave. S. AUDIENCE COMMENT Howard McOmber(Renton) invited the community to attend a blood drive on Citizen Comment: McOmber— May 30, 2009, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the LDS church located at 816 Field Community Blood Drive& Ave. NE. He also requested that a townhall style meeting be conducted in the Townhall Meeting Event in Highlands to afford citizens the opportunity to discuss budget issues with City Renton Highlands officials and staff. Citizen Comment: Dideon- Scott Dideon(Renton)expressed concerns regarding the 2009 Neighborhood 2009 Neighborhood Program Grant Program. He stated that the City's budget is down ten percent this year Grants and encouraged Council and City staff to determine if this expense is critical. He remarked that spending sixty to seventy thousand dollars for neighborhood signage is roughly equivalent to $1 per citizen in Renton. ... a Rd po *.i.b. , Agenda Item No.: . a10•511 re RENTON CITY COUNCIL MEETING PUBLIC HEARING/MEETING• SPEAKER SIGN-UP SHEET (Page 1) CITIZENS MUST PROVIDE NAME AND ADDRESS IN ORDER TO BE CONTACTED OR TO BE A PARTY OF RECORD WHEN APPROPRIATE DATE: 's`h/ e40 9 PLEASE PRINT 5 Minute Time Limit 1 5 Name: ill a (,,,,)0.1 Name: Peni .0,,,, 4, Address: i If�� S Pt - ( _I k Z Address: /722/ /� r 40,,,,c si City Zip Code Foster City ,��, fi Zip Code q�� Topic: Opt Topic: / 2 4- 6 Name: � 0 Name: ,6�� 04'3 '1 ?

Talbot is already clogged as well as Maple Valley and the interchange onto 167 is a nightmare as well. I sure hope that your people do a much better job at sequencing the traffic lights to maximize traffic flow especially during the rush hours. As for the people in the cascade area, you are really isolating these folks and committing them to excessively long tangled commutes. I also believe that the already rush hours overloaded Talbot is going to prove to be a real mess with a new off-ramp dumping onto this road. The transition to all points South of Petrovitsky are going to resemble Kent-Kangley Benson interchange. Thank you for reading my concerns. James S.

May [mailto:mmay@mhlseattle.com] Sent: Monday, May 11, 2009 9:09 AM To: Bonnie Walton Subject: Comments on Proprosed Closure of Benson Road Council Members: I am opposed to the WSDOT's proposal to close Benson Road for 11 months. Benson Road is heavily traveled with cars, bicyclists, and pedestrians during the morning and afternoon commutes. Closing the road would divert that traffic to Puget Drive,Talbot Road, and Petrovitsky Road, adding congestion to those already busy roads. I fear that this concentrated congestion would have a negative impact on downtown Renton all day long, and encourage shoppers to avoid Renton and spend their dollars in less congested areas, i.e., Kent, Southcenter, Bellevue, close to their jobs, etc. I question why they need 11 months to rebuild the bridge—no other construction jobs in the Puget Sound area require 11 months' total closure. Please be firm with the DOT and negotiate with them in a way that protects Renton residents and Renton. Thank you for your consideration. Marilyn May 2016 Aberdeen PI. S.E.

As far as Old Benson Road, it was relegated to second class status when Talbot Road (the new Benson) was built. Old Benson will be closed for eleven months no matter what we say unless an independent contractor is brought in to replace the WSDOT. Once folks living south of the Old Benson Road bridge have been without it for eleven months, perhaps they might want to live without it permanently.

Sincerely, Bonnie Walton City Clerk City of Renton 425-430-6502 From: Bob Garlough [mailto:garlord©att.net] Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2009 8:41 PM To: Bonnie Walton Subject: Comments to Proposed Closure of Benson Road for Bridge Reconstruction: Open the gate on Beacon Way SE. Dear City of Renton: Thank you for sending the notice of public hearing and for the opportunity to have my voice heard in this important decision. Unfortunately, I will be out of town on May 11, so I would like to send my comments in advance. For those of us above the Benson road in Tiffany Park and surrounding communities, the Benson road is one of only two ways to get into downtown Renton. During commute times, both the Benson road and Puget drive back up for many blocks with traffic. So, closing the Benson road will make it unreasonably difficult to get into and out of these neighborhoods. To mitigate this problem, I request that you open the gate on Beacon Way SE (near Philip Arnold Park) during the entire time that Benson road is closed. This will allow a reasonable alternative route between the neighborhoods above the Benson road and the city of Renton. I understand that the residents near Beacon Way SE do not want the commuter traffic going through their neighborhood, but I would remind them that this is a "public" road and the public good is not served by restricting hundreds of residents' access to employment, businesses, and emergency services so that a few can have the road to themselves. I believe that this proposal balances the safety and the convenience of all of those affected by the closure, and I hope you will agree to utilize this resource on a temporary basis to mitigate the impact of the closure. Thank you for your consideration.

Bring on the interchange Dear City Clerk, It will be necessary at some point to close the road for the construction. The accelerated timeline is fine with us, although it will cause extra miles for a period..it will be much shorter after that. In this time of financial turmoil, it would be wise to spend some of the money we assume may be from the Federal stimulis funds and create jobs ASAP and also get some money into City Hall somewhere in that process. In short, do what ever is necessary to complete the project as quick as possible as you have suggested.

An eleven month closure of Benson Road South is going to seriously disrupt traffic flow in this area. This road and the alternatives are very heavily traveled during rush hours and decreasing the available options of getting from the Tiffany Park area to downtown Renton is going to cause immense backups. This will especially be true if an accident closes one of them. If there is no other way to complete the new on-off ramps for I405 than an eleven month closure of Benson Rd, Beacon Way South should be opened to help alleviate the traffic congestion during the closure.

We realize this is already a done deal, but in our opinion, this is a big mistake to close off Benson Road for 11 months. The traffic getting off the hill is already terrible and if you close off that road, they only have one option which is to come down Puget Drive and merge with all the other traffic coming down Benson Highway and Talbot Road. We can't even imagine the traffic nightmare that will become. As it is right now, the lights are timed rather poorly so that alone backs up traffic. Now add many more cars and a 12 minute commute will be half hour to an hour or more. To get off the hill, we use to go down by the hospital and hop on 167, but since the construction at Valley Medical Center, the roads to get onto 167 are just as congested as Benson Highway. There are no other options. You are not offering other alternatives. You can't expect all those apartments and Rolling Hills Development families to get on one road. It just doesn't make sense. Why don't you open the back side up of Phillip Arnold park and let people come down through Renton Hill. We know Renton Hill folks won't be happy, but then this isn't impacting them. We'd rather see this construction project last a longer time and keep the road open then close it down completely. Thank you.
