Council hears public‑works update on wastewater NPDES draft and $1.2M Safe Routes grant application
Summary
Council Member Colleen McGrath reported the city applied for a $1,200,000 zero‑match Safe Routes to School multimodal grant for 22nd Street improvements and said the city received a draft NPDES permit affecting nitrogen discharge and has asked for more time for consultant review and public comment.
At the Aug. 3 meeting, Council Member Colleen McGrath summarized the Public Works Committee's recent meeting, telling the council the city is pursuing a $1,200,000 multimodal Safe Routes to School grant (zero match) focused on 22nd Street between J and M Avenues and that the Safe Routes program will visit the site as the application proceeds.
McGrath also said the city and its wastewater‑treatment plant received a draft NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit that would affect allowable nitrogen discharge. She said staff have engaged consultants to prepare a technical memo in response and have requested an additional 30 days beyond the standard public‑comment window to ensure adequate review.
The report included other traffic‑safety items (monitoring the 4th & Quay intersection and repainting lane markings, and evaluating speed and pedestrian concerns on Kingsway in Skyline) and noted a future update after an October 8 workshop with consultants on wastewater treatment.
