Four people could be formally appointed or re-appointed this month to the City of Tacoma’s Transportation Commission.

The 11-member commission was established last year by Tacoma City Council to advise the City of Tacoma on matters such as short-term and long-range transportation planning; compliance with local, regional, and federal transportation regulations; bike, pedestrian, and mass transit-related planning initiatives; and parking and capital improvement plans. The commission meets at 6 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month at Tacoma City Hall.

Earlier this year, the City of Tacoma issued a call for applicants to fill four three-year terms on the commission. Seven candidates applied: Yoshi Kumara (seeking re-appointment); Justin Leighton (seeking re-appointment); Vance Lelli; Seth Lundgaard; Tara Newton; Andrew Strobel (seeking re-appointment); and Jana Wennstrom. Tacoma City Council’s Infrastructure, Planning, and Sustainability Committee conducted interviews during a public meeting in July.

Tacoma City Council is tentatively scheduled to vote on a resolution to appoint or re-appoint Lelli, Kumara, Leighton, and Strobel to the City of Tacoma’s Transportation Commission during a public meeting on Tues., Aug. 12, at 5 p.m., at the Tacoma Municipal Building, 747 Market St., City Council Chambers / First Floor, in downtown Tacoma.
