SIX-YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The Committee reviewed each of the projects included in the TIP individually in order to prioritize the projects and review assumptions regarding funding. The Committee requested the TIP be updated with the requested changes and be provided for review at the next Public Works Committee meeting. B. PARKING MANAGEMENT STUDY REPORT Mr. Warren, consultant with TranSystems Corporation, reviewed the findings and recommendations of the completed Parking Management Study. Dudng the day there is a shortage of available parking in the downtown area due to the Medical Center, City Hall and downtown businesses, as well as increased usage of Sound Transit. Recommendations include establishing a City staff position for parking management with parking as a consistent item in the budget, which would include some revenue from parking enforcement and leased parking and costs would be broken out. Another option for relieving the demand on parking spaces would be to enfome shorter times than the current three hour parking in downtown parking lots. Another recommendation would be for the City and Medical Center to develop a parking facility in the block north of City Hall, which would require the relocation of police and court facilities. C. CHIP SEAL The Committee reviewed Project C209A, pavement preservation, which includes the repair of various streets with failing conditions and includes the use of a chip seal coating. D. 'M' STREET SE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE Engineer Gaub reported that in general public feedback regarding the 'M' Street SE Grade Separation Project was favorable. Staff presented the recommended alternative, M3a, which would reduce the heights of the walls on 'M' Street by up to 5 feet and removes the need for a City- owned and operated pump station for sewer services along the alley off of 4th St SE. Regarding the by-pass read alternative, staff recommended alternative BP2, which re-aligns the road to the west with the existing 'R' Street SE; thus removing the current curves in the existing roadway over the rail tracks. The Committee generally concurred with the recommended alternatives and asked to see copies of the final pre-design report when completed.
