Update with Downtown Stakeholders
Lid I-5 Steering Committee members made a strong appearance at the 2020 State of Downtown event last week. Bruno Lambert and intern Beatrice Priest helped staff a table and answer questions about the project, and Liz Dunn and Scott Bonjukian participated in a panel discussion about the ongoing lid feasibility study. Liz moderated an all-star cast that also included Lyle Bicknell (OPCD urban designer), Dhyana Quintanar (WSP deputy project manager), and Robin Mayhew (WSDOT Management of Mobility Director).

These include studying the relationship between the downtown street grid and the I-5 ramps, and finding funding for WSDOT to continue the I-5 Systems Partnership and beginning in-depth corridor planning. Lid I-5 is supporting these efforts because lidding the freeway will likely be coordinated with addressing the underlying infrastructure.
