City Manager Ellington (spelled Allington in the staff report) updated the council on the 140 Fifth Street and I‑5 interchange project, saying the Northeast 140 Fifth Street and I‑5 ramp will reopen on Thursday, Sept. 18 after 24 days of construction.
Ellington said the west end roundabout of the I‑5 overpass will open and operate in a single lane while construction continues in the corridor, and that the second roundabout on the east end is on track to open in early 2026. He called the reopening a "huge milestone for this project and improving overall mobility and safety in the corridor." For project details the city directs the public to engage.shorelinewa.gov/140fifthcorridor.
Ellington also listed a series of community events and reminders, including Welcoming Week activities, the artist‑in‑residence open studio and several upcoming commission and board meetings. No council action was requested on the manager's report.
