**Jurisdiction:** SLED

**Tags:** Construction & Infrastructure, Physical Infrastructure


The City of Arlington Council workshop, identified in the title as November 9, 2026, covered planning and municipal code updates as well as transportation projects. Staff presented preliminary bid results for the 180th Street roundabout project, which is supported in part by Puget Sound Regional Council grant funding. Staff said the project is adequately funded and that the city expects to recommend awarding it to low bidder Reese at the following week’s meeting, after providing the certified bid tabulation. No award was made at this workshop. The contract would be fixed-price, with change orders requiring council approval; the project also includes a pedestrian crossing near Smoky Point Park.

Council discussed construction and inspection delays affecting streetlight poles for the 188th Street project, including Buy America requirements and required WSDOT inspections, and received an update that right-of-way matters for the 531/172nd projects were awaiting FAA action. Other items included the 2027 annual docket and amendments to city code concerning definitions, enforcement, and sidewalk and street standards; staff said civil penalties would later be incorporated into the fee resolution. The agenda was approved, but the transcript records no procurement award or spending vote at this workshop.
