OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
??The Adaptive Signals Downtown project received a grant from the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) in the amount of $865,000. Council acceptance of this grant is required. The project is not included in the 2023-2024 CIP and Public Works is requesting Council add the project to the approved CIP.
