Lakewood staff propose broad Title 12/13/18 and Engineering Standards Manual updates; council flags downtown traffic fee and shoreline encroachment concerns Staff presented draft updates to Lakewood Municipal Code Titles 12, 13 and 18 and the Engineering Standards Manual to align with state standards, clarify technical vs. policy language, and speed reviews. Council members applauded updates but raised concerns about relocating the downtown Traffic Management Fee into code without a fresh planned-action EIS and urged deeper review of street-end/shoreline encroachment language before adoption.

Lakewood is on the brink of major municipal code updates, but the downtown Traffic Management Fee and shoreline encroachments are stirring up debate!
