Council backs joint CIB application for multi‑jurisdiction road, bridge and sidewalk work
Summary
Council voiced support for submitting a joint CIB application covering curb, bridge, sidewalks and shoulder improvements across Roosevelt, Duchene County and Ballard; staff will continue interagency coordination and return as needed.
City and regional staff briefed the council on a proposed multi‑jurisdiction transportation project and requested the city’s endorsement to submit a joint application to the Capital Investment Board (CIB).
A regional coordinator described the scope as curb, bridge and sidewalk work plus shoulder widening across a corridor that crosses Roosevelt, Duchene County and Ballard. He presented cost tables and two funding scenarios and said, in the transcript, that the application asked roughly for "3,264,000" from CIB and outlined alternate match scenarios if CIB funds a smaller share (Unidentified Speaker 9). The presenter called the corridor a long‑standing transportation need, useful as an east‑west connection and as an alternate route during congestion on other north–south corridors.
Council discussed which of two scenarios to support and the relative share of local match. One councilmember noted the city had budgeted $300,000 in its capital projects funds as a local contribution (Unidentified Speaker 2). After discussion, a motion to proceed with the CIB application and support the recommended submission was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Next steps: staff will finalize the application, coordinate intergovernmental agreements with Duchene County and Ballard, and submit the application by the stated deadline (application targeted for submission by June 1 in the presentation).
