Discussion will focus on current Seattle freight planning, investments and infrastructure, specifically including the new Freight Advisory Board, a proposed Freight Plan, the Complete Streets Ordinance and its implementation on Major Truck Streets, and opportunities for freight input to the Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee III. The Commission will hear from the Chair of the Seattle City Council's Transportation Committee and the director of the Seattle Department of Transportation. Following these overviews, roundtable participants representing the freight mobility interests will give brief introductions, followed by dialogue with commissioners and identification of next steps. The roundtable will begin at 10:30 a.m. OTHER DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BRIEFING: PowerPoint slide: Freight Flows Supporting Waterfront and Industrial Business.
