What this means

The committee moved multiple infrastructure and code items forward for later council action. Those included road and sidewalk repairs, updates to city rules for streets, water, buildings, and traffic, and a demolition contract for the Old Fire House Teen Center that needs more funding because of added abatement work and engineering estimates. Members also discussed a corridor improvement project on 172nd Ave NE, where staff said traffic calming measures would be installed before a barrier is removed and traffic counts will be taken after opening.
