    SR 509: Corridor Completion/I-5/South Access Road revised draft environmental impact statement and draft Section 4(f) evaluation

    ★ 32
    This January 2002 Revised Draft Environmental Impact Statement evaluates proposed improvements to SR 509 and I-5 in southwest King County, Washington, including a freeway extension to enhance southern access to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The study, prepared jointly by the Federal Highway Administration, WSDOT, Port of Seattle, King County, and the Cities of SeaTac and Des Moines, examines three build alternatives and a no-action alternative, differing in their proximity to Des Moines Creek Park and the airport runway protection zone. The proposed SR 509 extension corridor would be a minimum of 200 feet wide to accommodate general purpose and high-occupancy vehicle lanes in each direction.

Issues

Sea-Tac Airport is currently undergoing the largest and longest expansion in its history, collectively known as the Sustainable Airport Master Plan (SAMP). Some of it you can already hear, but you’re probably not aware of what it all means. Here’s what you need to know.

As the source for federal transportation grants, the Puget Sound Regional Council was charged with developing a system to meet the growing need for commercial aviation. When the search for a second airport failed, they authorized the Port of Seattle to build the Third Runway, with a mandate to develop a noise abatement and mitigation program. In their effort to stop the Third Runway, the ACC argued over every detail of the Port's efforts--including property buyouts and sound insulation. The dispute was meant to be settled by a three member Expert Arbitration Panel. This is their final report. It finds 2-1, that the Port's program was insufficient in several respects. Despite that, funding for the Third Runway was approved by the PSRC, and the 'Port Package' program, proceeded largely unchanged. Expert Arbitration Panel's final decision finding that the Port of Seattle had not shown sufficient reduction in real on-the-ground noise impacts to satisfy noise reduction conditions required for approval of a third runway at Sea-Tac International Airport. The majority decision concluded the Port's noise abatement programs were insufficient despite being impressive in scope.
