Background and Analysis:
The City is planning to improve four downtown streets: two in the short-term and two in the long-term. In recent months, City staff has been sharing the design concepts for all four streets with members of the public. We will tell the Committee what people have said about the design concepts so far.
We expect to move forward in 2019/2020 with construction on Legion Way and Franklin Street, the two short-term projects.
For the two long-term projects, Capitol Way and Washington Street, we will continue to refine the design concepts and develop a funding strategy. We expect that construction on those streets will begin after 2020.

Financial Impact:
