Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Minutes October24, 2017 III. MISCELLANEOUS 52nd Avenue South Parking Issues (near Tukwila Park & Ride) Staff reported that the four-hour time limit (7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) signs are still present on 52nd Avenue South between Interurban Avenue South and South 137th Street, and people seem to compliant to those parking restrictions based upon a couple of spot checks. There is no parking time limit around Joseph Foster Memorial Park and that area has been crowded by commuter parking. Councilmember Quinn noted that this problem is still occurring near the Sound Transit light rail station at S 152nd St/40th Ave S and he would like the City to look at zoned parking for residents there. At the last Committee meeting, Chair Kruller suggested a zoned parking program along 52nd Avenue South specifically for commuters who use the Tukwila Park & Ride. She will ask at a meeting if there is sufficient Council interest in pursuing such a program. Councilmember Duffie commented that residents in that area may disapprove of such a program even though it would be during daytime hours. Staff also reported that they reviewed the lighting situation on 52nd Ave S and found it to be in alignment with residential standards. The Transportation Committee Meeting adjourned at 6:52 p.m. Committee Chair Approval Minutes by LH, reviewed by GL
