The meeting is from 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 12, in the Puget Sound Regional Council office at 1011 Western Ave., Suite 500, in Seattle.

The advisory committee, created by the city of Seattle in an agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation, is charged with exploring ways to reduce traffic diversion due to tunnel tolls and meet the project’s funding goals.
