The estimated one-time parks development cost is $498,712.

Streets: Duvall Ave NE This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Closure, Road Improvements accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing Project to consider the temporary closure of Duvall Ave. NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE, LL from NE Sunset Blvd. (SR-900) to SE 95th Way, for a 13-month period from February 2008 through February 2009, for the purpose of roadway and utility improvements. Deputy Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator- Transportation Hahn stated that this project involves the widening of the roadway from two to four lanes and relates to the project in the City of Newcastle that involves the improvement to May Creek Bridge, as well as the widening of the Coal Creek Parkway segment in Newcastle. He gave an overview of the upcoming staff presentation, noting the large amount of concern that exists in the community regarding this project. Transportation Design Supervisor Hanson described the proposed detour routes, and the school bus and local access routes. He stated that the project entails the following: roadway widening from two to four lanes; undergrounding of all • December 3, 2007 Renton City Council Minutes , Page 416 utilities; sidewalks; water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage improvements; landscaping; street lighting; irrigation; and signal installation at NE 21 st St. Mr. Hanson reviewed staff considerations concerning the timing of the various phases of construction, including coordination with the utility companies, and school children access to buses. He indicated that if the roadway is closed to through traffic, the estimated time of construction is one year. If through traffic is maintained on the roadway, the estimated time of construction is two years. Mr. Hanson pointed out that during certain parts of the construction project the roadway must be closed; and if through traffic is maintained during the project, flaggers would constantly be stopping traffic. Tom Noguchi, with Mirai Associates, Inc., presented a traffic analysis of the existing traffic conditions and volumes in the area, and a summary of traffic conditions for each construction management option. Using a simulation model, he displayed the traffic conditions that would occur if Duvall Ave. NE were to be closed during construction, and if Duvall Ave. NE were to remain open during construction. Mr. Noguchi concluded the following: closure of Duvall Ave. NE would significantly increase traffic on Union Ave. NE; both closure and open options would not significantly increase travel time for neighborhood residents; and traffic on neighborhood streets would increase under the open option. Continuing, Mr. Hahn noted that affected residents will have east/west access to Union Ave. NE and Field Ave. NE, and that the businesses in the vicinity of Duvall Ave. NE and NE Sunset Blvd. will be accessible the entire time. Mr. Hanson reviewed the traffic and safety measures to be undertaken, including: minimization measures on Union Ave. NE,particularly in the area of Sierra Heights Elementary School; stop sign installation at SE May Valley Rd./148th Ave. SE; traffic signal modification at 148th Ave. SE/SR-900; refuge lane at Field Ave. NE/SR-900; signage; truck traffic limitations on Union Ave. NE; police presence at Union Ave. NE and NE 24th St.; speed tables on NE 24th St.; and timing signal adjustments. Mr. Hahn reviewed the public outreach that will be conducted during the project, including a web page (www.duvall.rentonwa.gov), traffic signage, telephone hotline, early proactive information, and media. In conclusion, he reviewed a brief comparison of the "open" and "closed to through traffic" options for the construction project. MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES. CARRIED. Time: 8:43 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 8:51 p.m.; roll was called; all Councilmembers present except Clawson previously excused. Stating that the Transportation(Aviation) Committee discussed this matter last week, Councilmember Corman noted that many of the items on the mitigation plan, such as police presence at the school, were added since the committee meeting was held.

Donnelly(King County), Glenn Gesell (Renton), and Rebecca Gallagher(Renton). Comments and concerns included: increased traffic through Summerwind and Sierra Heights neighborhoods; increased traffic impacts on Sierra Heights Elementary School students; length of time of the full closure; safety of children; affected • December 3, 2007 , Renton City Council Minutes , Page 417 businesses negatively impacted; lack of notice regarding project; lack of traffic mitigation measures; proposal to put four-way stop at SE May Valley Rd./148th Ave. SE will create a larger traffic backup; suggestion to keep roadway open and concentrate construction on one direction at a time; increased litigation risk; and disruptions and delays to school children busing. Public comment was invited. The following speakers commented on the proposed closure: Eric Walrod (Renton), Clement Novinski (King County), Mike Jacklin(Renton), Jennifer Young (Renton), Jill Gifford(Renton), Bob Blayden (Renton), Sally van Boheemen (Renton), Rich Crispo (Newcastle), Rob Nichols (Renton), Don Joss (Kent), Debra Rogers (Renton), Hylan Slobodkin (Renton),Anita Cheung (Renton), Yolanda Chow (King County), Lusine Gharibyan (Renton), and Stan Kawamoto (Renton). Concerns expressed regarded the project timeline, as the NE Sunset Blvd./Duvall Ave. NE intersection project took longer than projected; speeding traffic on Union Ave. NE; closure of the May Creek Bridge by the City of Newcastle during its construction project; increased traffic on SE May Valley Rd. causing safety problems; backups on SR-900 when traveling from Field Ave. NE to SR-900; increased visibility of the elementary school due to closure detour route; decreased attendance at elementary school activities; timeliness of bussing school children; children's safety; and lack of notice about closure. Other concerns expressed included the expected increase in traffic in the already congested school zone on Union Ave. NE; impact on affected area residents; lack of citizen input; lack of notification to affected businesses; increased traffic on SE 95th Way that backs up on Union Ave. NE; underestimated effect of closure on the elementary school; inconsistent results from the traffic analysis; and flawed traffic analysis. Suggestions made included opening up the emergency access road that connects the Stonegate and Summerwind neighborhoods; opening the roadway on weekends; flexibility during construction to take into account the changing traffic patterns and to make necessary adjustments; conducting some construction at night; having one-way traffic southbound on Union Ave. NE and one-way traffic northbound on 148th Ave. SE; closing the roadway in the summer due to less traffic at that time and to allow for completion of the preliminary construction work; and installing speed deterrents on Union Ave. NE. Requests voiced were for driveways to remain open at the mall located at Duvall Ave. NE/SR-900 and that good access be maintained to the driveways; for a left-turn lane on southbound 148th Ave. SE to SR-900; for a temporary signal light at Coal Creek Parkway SE/SE 95th Way; and for project completion in a timely manner. Comments expressed indicated that progress needs to continue; better roads are needed; traffic congestion is already problematic; businesses located on Duvall Ave. NE will be negatively affected; and more study and discussion is needed. Other opinions were that the amount of traffic that accesses and leaves the Summerwind neighborhood has been underestimated,particularly left-hand turns onto eastbound SR-900, and that the lack of parking on Union Ave. NE negatively coincides with the elementary school's small parking lot. Councilmembers and City staff made the following comments during the audience comment portion of the meeting: police will be present at Sierra • December 3, 2007 'rrw Renton City Council Minutes Y .. Page 418 Heights Elementary School during peak times in the morning and afternoon; the City of Newcastle will not close the May Creek Bridge during its construction project; traffic modeling showed that if Duvall Ave. NE was closed, the Summerwind neighborhood would be less affected by pass-through traffic; and assurance that communication and access will be maintained to those who front Duvall Ave. NE so that individual needs are met when work is conducted on the driveways. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY NELSON, SECONDED BY PALMER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 422 for further discussion.)

The project will widen the road from two to four and five lanes (including a two-way left-turn lane in the middle at Sunset Blvd that tapers down to a c-curb barrier towards the north end), construct curb, gutter, sidewalks and bicycle lanes on both sides of Duvall Avenue NE and a signal at NE 20 Street, convert overhead power lines to underground and include safety features at specific locations, and will greatly alleviate current congestion. The overall construction cost estimate for constructing the project with Duvall Avenue NE and Coal Creek Parkway remaining open to traffic is approximately$14.6 million and estimated construction duration of two (2) calendar years. As an alternative to such an impact to the public (both financial and time-wise), the City's Transportation Division has considered performing the construction with a full road closure in effect between NE Sunset Blvd and SE 95t Way. They estimate the cost would be approximately$11 million, with an estimated construction duration of only one(1) calendar year. Thus, the savings in cost is estimated to be $3.6 million and one calendar year. (The Resolution calls for a thirteen-month closure to account for unforeseen contingencies during construction). The Transportation Systems Division has also had a traffic study conducted to evaluate the impacts of such a closure as compared to the alternative of leaving the road open during the construction. Based on this study and other engineering considerations, Transportation has concluded that leaving the road open during construction would not significantly reduce the congestion impacts that the closure and associated detours (via Union Avenue and 148th Avenue) would impose,because there would be so much disruption to the ongoing traffic on Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway due to construction operations. However, the one year reduction in the project duration is especially beneficial, in part because it ensures that the project is completed by the time the City of Newcastle's projects to the north are completed, rather than extending some months past their completion. The Administration is recommending that the Council adopt the proposed resolution for a full temporary closure of Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE, from NE Sunset Blvd to SE 95th Way, for a 13-month period beginning in February 2008 through February 2009, for the purpose of roadway and utility improvements.

I'm assuming it's more of a complete closure b/c in my opinion 12 or more months is not temporary. 1. I am worried about the impact of through traffic in Summerwind. In the past when there have been closures on surrounding main streets, the traffic has increased in our neighborhood. The people cutting through our neighborhood do not follow speed limits or safety. They just want to get through as quickly as possible. Our neighborhood is concerned for the safety of our kids. I can't tell you how many times we've seen people speed through while our kids our waiting for the school bus. Temporary speed bumps would be an option. 2. One of the detours is on Union which goes right by Sierra Heights Elementary. What is the plan to insure the safety of our children while there is increased traffic. Also, the road is already congested, with the additional traffic, so what guarantees do you have that our school buses will be able to get to school and back home in a timely manner? This morning's Coal Creek closure impacting school buses and traffic. What plans have the schools and city worked out to make transportation run smoothly during the closure? Why is the closure so long for such a small stretch of road. Coal Creek was not shut down completely when the road was expanded near the Olympus development, so how is this any different? I know that we all have to adjust to differently situations, but a closure for over a year seems extreme for the amount of road being built. Also, what guarantees are there that the project would be finished in 12 or 13 months? I would like to know and be assured that the City of Renton has done complete studies on the impact of such a closure before they begin construction. The closure would not only affect traffic, but also local business. Coal Creek/ Duvall is a major artery for the Highlands and any long term closure should be thoroughly analyzed.

I understand the proposal needs to be voted by the City Council. I would like to make sure you are aware of the lack of public hearing on this important matter that impact many of City of Renton residences. The one public meeting scheduled on 11/7/07 did not go out to many impacted residences and none of the businesses knew about it. There has not been enough study and data to support the! saving claimed by the transportation project team. There is not enough mitigation in place to ensure smooth traffic and safety in the area. Closure of a major road for one year is not an option. The project team should come up with alternate proposal without major impact to the area. In City of Renton Web Site: aeln order to limit the construction duration to about one year, Transportation staff will be recommending to the City Council that Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway be closed to through traffic between Sunset and SE 95th Way beginning in early 2008 and lasting for approximately twelve months. Main detours for traffic would be via Sunset, 148th Ave NE and May Valley Road east of the project area, and via Sunset and Union Ave NE west of the project area.iE Why you should vote NO - Public meeting notice (11/7/07)was not sent to all impacted residences and businesses - Impact to! Sierra Height Elementary school is not mitigated with detour - Impact to stretch of Union Ave. is not mitigated - Impact to Summer Wind residence is not adequately addressed - Not offering incentive to Contractor to finish early -Coal Creek Parkway will not be closed during the construction; all traffic will be diverted to residential areas. &rte.

Although my children no longer attend Sierra Heights elementary school I am non-the-less concerned for the safety of the many students and staff who would be greatly impacted by this possible detour.Although I don not live in that immediate neighborhood, I do walk it regularly and know that we already have streams of cars coming down the Union hill each morning trying to avoid the back-up on Duval. This increased traffic puts hundreds of young children at risk. Many children walk to school alone and are not mature enough to concern themselves with the dangers of so much traffic, including irate drivers who are in a hurry and outraged by the traffic back-up they will be dealing with. Those drivers have little concern for children needing to cross streets to get to school. Please do NOT put this quiet neighborhood in a state of turmoil and the lives of so many young children at unnecessary risk. Keep the Coal Creek traffic where it belongs, out of our quiet neighborhoods. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Grady Way Renton, WA 98055 RECEIVED CITY CLERK'S OFFICE RE: Closure of Coal Creek Parkway Dear City Councilpersons: We would like to comment on Renton's proposed Coal Creek Parkway closing from February 2008 to February 2009. We live in King County—just off 148th Avenue SE. Our street-- 147`h Avenue SE—is a cul-de-sac with only one entrance/exit. We were informea that the"proposed" detours were going down Union Avenue or 148th Avenue SE. Currently.traffic using 148th and Coal Creek Parkway come from Kent and Fairwood as well as within this area. They do this to avoid the 1-405 mess. A contractor is currently working on a new bridge over May Creek. That is causing traffic delays on Coal Creek Parkway and May Valley Road. The May Valley Road traffic(at 7 am)backs up onto 148`h Avenue SE up to the traffic signal at SR 900. With the additional traffic that will come down 148th/Nile,we won't be able to get out of our street onto 148`h. Is this what you want? We were told that one of the solutions would be to make a 4-way stop at SE May Valley Road and 148th Avenue SE. To us,that will create a bigger mess. Traffic will be backed up further. We know that someone has to put up with the additional detoured traffic— but why us? Can't you do what Newcastle is doing—keep the existing road open,but concentrate on one direction. Then once that additional lane is complete, work on the other lane. This will keep the additional traffic off 148th Avenue SE. Thank you for any consideration you give this proposal.

From: "'Glenn Gesell'<glenngesell@comcast.net>"<glenngesell@comcast.net> To: <council@ci.renton.wa.us> Date: 12/3/2007 1:54:30 PM Subject: Closure of Coal Creek Parkway I am writing to provide my input on the potential closure of Coal Creek Parkway/Duvall between Sunset Blvd. and 95th. I have several concerns about this potential closure, and believe that it is in the interest of the City of Renton and all of our residents to find an alternative. The primary concerns and risks we will have if Duvall is closed are: 1)Safety at Sierra Heights Elementary-the current proposal of using Union Ave. as the detour route sounds very inappropriate. Sierra Heights Elementary has over 600 students, many of whom are walkers. Do you really think it is wise or responsible to route so much rush hour traffic past one of city's largest elementary schools? The increased traffic on Union would greatly raise the risk of injury to these students. 2) Litigation Risk- if there is a single accident involving a student near Sierra Heights Elementary, the City of Renton will likely lose far more than the$3 million in hopeful savings by closing Duvall. I expect that any litigation brought against the city would point out that it should have been obvious that routing so much traffic through a school zone would greatly increase the likelihood of an accident. With our litigious society and favorable laws in WA state for plaintiffs against the state and local governments, I believe that if this plan goes forward, the City of Renton will definitely be opening itself up to much greater liability. 3) Busing - have you identified the impact this will have on school busing to Sierra Heights as well as other schools? Sunset will be very crowded south bound in the mornings. In addition to Sierra Heights, buses drive south on Sunset to McKnight and Kennydale. With the increase in traffic on Sunset and Union, how will you accommodate the busing requirements to these schools? 4) Loss of business in Highlands—if Duvall is closed, I would not expect any residents of Newcastle to drive into the Highlands for Shopping or other needs. The businesses in the area would be overly impacted by this closure. Have you estimated how much the loss of tax revenue would be from closing Duvall? This loss would erode the potential $3 million in savings. I believe that the most appropriate action is to leave Duvall open during the construction. I understand that this may cost up to $3 million more than if Duvall were to be closed. However, that is a small price to pay for the safety of our children. I strongly urge the city council to reject the idea of closing Duvall during this project, and approve the additional funds necessary to keep it open.

I am a resident of the Summerwind neighborhood just off of Coal creek and Duvall and use Coal Creek Pkwy for access to my son's preschool and my daughter's elementary school. I completely disagree with the option to close Coal creek for a year while this construction is completed. Five years or so ago when Phase 1 was completed, the road was not closed and although traffic was delayed, there was access. Today after Coal Creek needed to be closed for a short time due to a mud slide-traffic was horrendous! It took 1 hour for the school bus to take my daughter from Sum merwind to Kennydale! It took 45 minutes to get from my neighborhood to Factoria. This is unacceptable to impose these conditions on residents of Renton for a whole year. Weather related closures and emergency situations that are temporary and hourly, even daily, are acceptable. But 12 months to not have any access to this road is an outrage. Please consider my position on this issue as you plan ahead. -Rebecca Gallagher 5125 NE 17th Street Renton, WA 98059 CC: <jamesandrebecca@comcast.net> ,.

The roadway within the project limits will be widened to provide sidewalks,curb and gutter,bike lanes,landscaping and illumination along both sides of the roadway in addition to increasing the number of through lanes to two lanes in each direction. This project will interface with the current City of Newcastle project to widen Coal Creek Parkway from SE 95th Way to SE 84th Way. a ,t The project is currently scheduled to be advertised for construction in December 2007. Construction is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2009. It is proposed that Duvall Avenue and Coal Creek Parkway will be closed to through traffic during this construction period. Traffic will be detoured around the project site as shown in the map. Local access for residences,school buses,mail and delivery vehicles will be maintained as shown. Citizen comments and questions are important parts of the project's success during construction. A public open house for this project will be held for citizens to see the plans for the project and to provide their input on the proposal to close the roadway to through traffic and on the proposed detour routes during construction.

Members of the Renton City Council VIA: J"'Kathy Keolker, Mayor FROM: Gregg ZimmermalAciiinistrator STAFF CONTACT: Bob Hanson, Design Planning/Programming Supervisor, Ext. 7223 SUBJECT: Proposed Temporary Closure of Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE ISSUE: Should Council authorize the closure of Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE between SE 107th Street and SE 95th Way from the beginning of construction in February 2008 until February 28, 2009 or earlier as may be determined by the Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator? RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the resolution authorizing the temporary full closure of Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE between SE 107th Street and SE 95th Way from the beginning of construction in February 2008 until February 28, 2009, or earlier as may be determined by the Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator. BACKGROUND: Summary • Existing traffic on Coal Creek Parkway SE functions at level of service F with delays of up to 20 minutes. • Queues typically develop between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on Coal Creek Parkway SE, Duvall Avenue SE, NE 95th Way, SE May Valley Road, and 148th Avenue SE. • The limiting capacity of Coal Creek Parkway occurs in the City of Newcastle at the intersection of Coal Creek Parkway SE and SE May Valley Road. Toni Nelson,Council Presi,. Members of the Renton City ouncil Page 2 of 9 November 30,2007 • Any increase in the capacity of this intersection results in a breakdown on Coal Creek Parkway SE at one of the next three intersections north. • Closure of Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE to through traffic during reconstruction within the City of Renton: • Will result in longer queues, but will have no effect on the capacity of Coal Creek Parkway SE in Newcastle. • Will not reduce the aggregate delay. • Will increase travel distance, for northbound local vicinity commuters, by approximately one mile each trip. • Leaving Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE open to through traffic during reconstruction will result in: • Doubling the time of construction. • Continuing construction after the beginning of Phase II construction on • I-405. • Unnecessary extension for nearly one year of direct impacts on residents and businesses fronting on Duvall Avenue NE. • Significant increase in through traffic on vicinity local streets, particularly Field Avenue NE/SE 1OOth Street and SE 24th Street. • Frequent shutdown of Duvall Avenue NE for through traffic between SR 900 and SE 24th Street because of space constraints between obstructions. • An increase in construction cost of approximately$3,000,000. Project Description Historically, Coal Creek Parkway SE was a two-lane country road that existed for years under a variety of names. As Newport Hills and the Renton Highlands developed and Bellevue extended southward, those segments from I-405 to what is now the City of Newcastle and 138th Avenue NE (Duvall Avenue SE)between SE 128th Street(NE 4th Street) and SR 900 (NE Sunset Boulevard)were improved to four lanes. In more recent times the City of Newcastle extended the improvements as far south as SE 84th Way. This year the City of Newcastle is improving Coal Creek Parkway SE from SE 84th Way to SE 95th Way(north Renton City limit). Newcastle's roadway projects are expected to be completed in the summer of 2009. The City of Renton has been preparing for reconstruction of the remaining section between NE Sunset Boulevard and the City of Newcastle for the last several years. The project will include widening to four lanes with left-turn lanes, a traffic signalized intersection at NE 21st Street and placement of underground conduits for a signal at NE 24th Street when warrants exist, sidewalks, retaining walls, undergrounding of all overhead utilities,water improvements, sanitary sewer improvements, storm drainage improvements, and landscaping. The signal at NE 21st Street will help break up traffic to improve access for the neighboring streets as well as providing good level of service access at NE 21st Street itself. A pedestrian actuated signal will be included. When the H:\Division.s\TRANSPOR.TAT\ADMIN\Agenda 2007\Duvall Closure.doc Toni Nelson,Council Presiir..rt a••+� Members of the Renton City Council Page 3 of 9 November 30, 2007 project is complete, Duvall Avenue NE is expected to operate generally at level of service C. Development of the Closure Alternative The Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE reconstruction project is finally going out to bid. One of the last tasks was to prepare a construction staging plan that provided two clear travel lanes and met the requirements of the MUTCD and WSDOT Standard Specifications, including providing pedestrian accessibility at least as good as that existing prior to construction. This proved to be rather difficult because of horizontal constraints caused by existing utility poles that could not be removed until the new underground power, telephone, and cable utilities were constructed and extended to the homes along Duvall Avenue NE and activated. A surface water quality and detention vault will be located in the center of Duvall Avenue NE north of SE 107th Street. A joint utility trench will run the full length of the project and over 50 utility crossings will be required. Its construction constraints will severely impact the contractor's ability to maintain two lanes of traffic during construction. Further constricting the construction site will be paved, fenced and jersey barricaded walkways for the passage of school children. A cost estimate for relocating poles, interim temporary paving, striping, barricades, and traffic control was prepared. That cost, together with the effects of escalating construction costs, resulted in a total cost that exceeded the City budget by over $3,000,000. The effect on the proposed construction schedule that was worked out with the franchise utilities put our estimated construction time of two calendar years in question. The City approached the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) staff to request an increase in both City and county grants. No increase was promised, but if one was made it would have an upper limit of$500,000. The City's consultant was asked to prepare a new cost estimate based on complete closure of Duvall Avenue NE. The new estimate showed potential savings of up to $3,000,000 without taking into account the increased cost of the project due to staging constraints. Arguably, the most important predicted effect of such a closure was that the expected time of construction was reduced from two calendar years to one year. Two local contractors were infoinially approached and asked to comment on the time and cost savings that should be expected for this project under closure to through traffic. Their responses suggested similar time savings, but a cost savings closer to $2,000,000. King County and WSDOT have reported reductions in cost of approximately 20 percent by closure of streets through construction zones. H:\Division.s\TRANSPOR.TAT\ADMIN\Agenda 2007\Duvall Closure.doc Toni Nelson,Council Pres, Members of the Renton City Council Page 4 of 9 November 30,2007 Nighttime construction was considered and found to be problematic because of the unacceptable noise impacts on the people in the residences fronting on or in near proximity to Duvall Avenue NE. Analysis of construction staging has shown that even under the "open to through traffic" alternative,there will be full closures of up to 60 days duration and numerous short-term duration closures. The City Council was advised of staffs intent to propose closure of Duvall Avenue NE to thru traffic during construction. Recent Closure Experience During a little over a year during 2006 and 2007 the City closed Park Avenue North for the The Landing project and for three days a portion of Rainier Avenue South was closed in August of 2007. No formal traffic study for the Park Avenue North closure was made. It was assumed that drivers would respond by finding alternative routes or schedules and this assumption was born out in practice with a detour plan using Garden Avenue North as the sole replacement for both Garden and Park Avenues North. Garden Avenue North was reduced from four to three lanes to improve its ability to handle trucks and was amazingly successful in replacing four lanes each of both Park Avenue North and Garden Avenue North. There were times that Garden Avenue North was reduced to two lanes because of construction activities. It is estimated that level of service F delays occurred on only 10 to 20 occasions. City staff performed a traffic analysis of the Rainier Avenue South closure. It predicted level of service F delays. However,traffic was shown not to go into complete gridlock, even though 24-hour traffic counts on Rainier Avenue South were in excess of 50,000 vehicles per day, and five lanes of Rainier Avenue South were being replaced with a total of four lanes,two each on Hardie Avenue SW and Shattuck Avenue South. The Rainier Avenue South closure was an event of some considerable energy, but was a significant success in both cost and time saved and elimination of nighttime noise. The City of Newcastle is currently constructing a new bridge over May Creek in a project north of and adjacent to the north end of the Duvall Avenue NE/SE Coal Creek Parkway project. They elected not to close the parkway for this project. Their city engineer reports that traffic has reduced the construction hours on their project to four hours per day, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. No one has yet addressed the effect on time of contract and damages due to unforeseen conditions. H:\Division.s\TRANSPOR.TAT\ADMIN\Agenda 2007\Duvall Closure.doc Toni Nelson,Council Pres;, . Members of the Renton City Council Page 5 of 9 November 30,2007 Existing Conditions The effects of the proposed closure have been studied by staff and the consultant by observing the behavior of the drivers using Duvall Avenue NE and performing detailed computer simulations of the proposed conditions. The morning peak that stretches from 6:00 a.m. to nearly 10:00 a.m. resulted in the greatest daily delays south of May Creek. Under current conditions, queues form on Coal Creek Parkway SE/Duvall Avenue NE, SE May Valley Road, and SE 95th Way and at times, as have been observed or reported by others, on 148th Avenue SE, SE May Valley Road east of 148th Avenue SE and Union Avenue NE. At times Coal Creek Parkway SE is backed up from the business district in Newcastle through the unincorporated area and on into Renton on Duvall Avenue NE south to SR 900 and beyond. At other times the backup north terminus is at the intersection of Coal Creek Parkway SE and SE May Valley Road. Drivers have responded by proceeding through both the intersections of Coal Creek Parkway SE at SE 95th Way and SE May Valley Road by alternating access through the intersections. The result is that SE Coal Creek Parkway through the City of Newcastle determines the capacity of the total of all approaching streets, and that 17 percent of the traffic comes from SE 95th Way, 50 percent from Duvall Avenue NE, and 33 percent from SE May Valley Road. Recent intersection traffic counts show similar results. Average daily traffic in 2007 on NE Duvall Avenue is about 15,000 vehicles per day. The Renton School District has approximately 100 bus trips per day on Duvall Avenue NE. Anecdotal information such as field observations and commuter interviews suggest that significant numbers of vehicles use Coal Creek Parkway SE in preference to I-405. Many vehicles from the area that stretches from Fairwood to and beyond Maple Valley use Coal Creek Parkway SE via SR169, 154th Avenue SE,the new Elliott Bridge, 156th Avenue SE and then SE 128th/4th Street to Duvall Avenue SE, 148th Avenue SE (Nile Avenue NE), or 164th Avenue SE instead of I-405. Others go east on SR 900 to Issaquah. Public Outreach for the Proposed Closure Over the past nine months, City staff has held meetings with the City of Newcastle, Renton School District, Issaquah School District, Metro Transit,the Renton Police Department, and the Renton Fire Department explaining the proposed closure action and seeking input. The comments have been addressed in the proposed minimization measures. On November 7, City staff and the consultant held a public meeting at Hazen High School. A total of 2,341 information sheets were mailed to all the residents on carrier H:\Division.s\TRANSPOR.TAT\ADMIN\Agenda 2007\Duvall Closure.doc Toni Nelson,Council Pres, !t Members of the Renton City Council Page 6 of 9 November 30,2007 routes 48, 57, 67, and 72 of zip code 98059 on Tuesday of the previous week. The package of information sheets intended for carrier route 72 was sent to carrier route 78 in error. An announcement of the meeting was posted on the City's web site. Approximately 60 people attended. Staff gave a project status update and solicited comments on the proposed closure from the attendees. Oral comments were received from about 20 residents and 10 written comment sheets and e-mails have been received. Additional comments were posted on a councilmember's blog. The comments in general were excellent and made staff and the consultant aware of several potential impacts that had not been considered but have now been addressed in the proposed minimization measures. It was reported that many businesses and residents did not receive their notices. A turnout of 60 people for a meeting like this is considered excellent. The City will maintain a project web page with weekly updates and more frequently as needed. Personal contact will be maintained with those whose properties are directly affected by construction activities. These measures will be taken with or without closure of Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Avenue SE. Findings and Analysis for the Proposed Street Closure Some impacts will be more onerous than others. Those residents fronting on Union Avenue NE/SE 95th Way, SE May Valley Road, and 148th Avenue SE and traffic on SR 900 at the intersections with Union Avenue NE and 148th Avenue SE are expected to be most impacted by the queues and increased traffic. Both intersections have signals that can be adjusted to accommodate the traffic pattern changes. It is expected that diverted local traffic will generally choose to use Union Avenue NE and regional traffic will use 148th Avenue SE and 164th Avenue SE. The following intersections are already and/or may be impacted further by queues of traffic waiting to use Coal Creek Parkway due to the closure of Duvall Avenue: 1. Coal Creek Parkway SE at SE May Valley Road 2. Coal Creek Parkway SE at SE 95th Way 3. SE May Valley Road at 148th Avenue SE 4. Union Avenue NE at SE 95th Way 5. 148th Avenue SE at NE 26th Street If queues develop on Union Avenue NE, south to NE 24th Street, access to Sierra Heights Elementary School may be restricted causing delays for buses,teachers and students. School buses and other vehicles from the Summer Wind and other areas that use the signalized intersection on SR 900 at Duvall Avenue NE for left turns eastbound on SR 900 may find it necessary to enter at an unsignalized intersection on SR 900 at H:\Division.s\TRANSPOR.TAT\ADMIN\Agenda 2007\Duvall Closure.doc Toni Nelson,Council Pres it Members of the Renton City Council ... Page 7 of 9 November 30,2007 Field Avenue NE. All such vehicles within the affected areas can choose to enter SR 900 at Union Avenue NE or 148th Avenue SE by extending the length of their trips. Impacts of construction on the Duvall Avenue NE abutting residents will be that of any similar street improvement project. Those impacts include: 1. The reduction of front yards for use as additional required right-of-way. 2. Construction noise and vibration for the duration of the project. 3. Interrupted vehicular access to their properties. 4. Construction activity on their properties and homes to extend underground utilities and reconstruct driveways. 5. Temporary interruption of utilities that must be disconnected and reconnected. 6. Supervision of children walking through the construction zone on their way to school. The elimination of through traffic on Duvall Avenue NE will minimize those impacts by reducing traffic conflicts during construction and dramatically reducing time of construction. Existing traffic that cuts through the local neighborhood streets to avoid some of the queue on Duvall Avenue NE should be reduced or eliminated altogether. Residents on NE 24th Street have complained of speeding on their street. It is expected that traffic will increase on NE 24th Street whether Duvall Avenue NE is closed or not. The queues on Union Avenue NE, SE May Valley Road, and 148th Avenue SE should increase in aggregate by approximately 40 percent. It is expected that some commuters will alter their trip timing or route to avoid the increased lengths of queues. The impacts to traffic caused by the contractor's activities will be such that most of the through traffic will seek other routes during construction whether or not the street is formally closed. Traffic using the intersections on SR 900 at Union Avenue NE and 148th Avenue SE is expected to increase. Traffic on NE 24th Street wishing to turn north or south at Union Avenue NE may be delayed by increased traffic or queuing on Union Avenue NE. Mirai Associates has concluded a traffic analysis of the proposed detour plan with results in the report the will be presented at the public hearing. The proposed minimization measures are listed below. H:\Division.s\TRANSPOR.TAT\ADMIN\Agenda 2007\Duvall Closure.doc Toni Nelson,Council Pres ,t Members of the Renton City Council wiry Page 8 of 9 November 30,2007 It has been concluded that the closure of Duvall Avenue NE will have no impact on the capacity of the total Coal Creek Parkway SE system until the improvements to Coal Creek Parkway SE within the City of Newcastle have been completed. The initial estimate of construction time was 340 working days. Detailed staging analysis to accommodate traffic and time requirements for the franchise utilities to get their work completed extended the estimated construction time to about 500 working days (about two calendar years including holidays and non-working days due to weather and other delays). Estimated time of construction with the street closed to through traffic is 250 working days(one calendar year). Monetary incentives were considered for completing the project early. Franchise utility work to convert overhead to underground can take: 30 days notice, 45 days additional if requested, and 90 days estimated to complete the transition following completion of the joint utility trench. That equals 165 calendar days that the contractor must work around. This situation would make it difficult(and subject to claims for reduced incentive payments)to use early completion incentives, because much of the work is not in the control of the City or the contractor. Metro has taken a bus through the proposed detour routes and determined it has a viable detour route only on 148th Avenue SE and SE May Valley Road. The analysis shows that the benefits of closure clearly outweigh the negative impacts. Minimization Measures If closure is approved by Council, staff will take the following measures to mitigate the potential effects of the closure: Prior to Closure: 1. Request King County to install an all-way stop at the intersection of SE May Valley Road and 148th Avenue SE. 2.

SUMMARY OF'ACTION: The Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE Reconstruction Project consists of improving and widening the existing street to decrease traffic congestion within the City. Constructing a large project on a very congested route with typical lane closures will create a very long duration in construction activities and added traffic congestion. To increase the productivity of construction and help lower estimated construction costs, the Transportation Division is requesting a full temporary closure of Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE from NE Sunset Boulevard to SE 95th Way. Traffic for both directions will be detoured on two alternate routes: one on 148th Avenue SE and SE May Valley Road, and the second on Union Avenue NE, 132nd Avenue SE and SE 95th Way. Provisions will be made for local access. The estimated duration of the closure is 13 months. The temporary road closure will take place beginning construction in February 2008 to February 28, 2009. The exact dates for the closure will depend on work progress and are not possible to predict at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Set a public hearing for December 3, 2007, for the temporary closure of Duvall Avenue NE/Coal Creek Parkway SE from NE Sunset Blvd to SE 95th Way. 2.

The roadway within the project limits will be widened to provide sidewalks,curb and gutter,bike lanes, landscaping and illumination along both sides of the roadway in addition to increasing the number of through lanes to two lanes in each direction. This project will interface with the current City of Newcastle project to widen Coal Creek Parkway from SE 95th Way to SE 84th Way. The project is currently scheduled to be advertised for construction in December 2007. Construction is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2009. It is proposed that Duvall Avenue and Coal Creek Parkway will be closed to through traffic during this construction period. Traffic will be detoured around the project site as shown in the map. Local access for residences, school buses,mail and delivery vehicles will be maintained as shown. Citizen comments and questions are important parts of the project's success during construction. A public open house for this project will be held for citizens to see the plans for the project and to provide their input on the proposal to close the roadway to through traffic and on the proposed detour routes during '`.,; ` construction. -,_ If you have any questions or '. comments,please contact James r s.
