The DLR Group has won a 2021 Civic Design Citation Award from
the AIA.MashingtcaLcaundi for the construction of the Tukwila
Justice Center! The project was chosen for the way the building
integrates and prioritizes the needs of the community while also
creating a safe and secure working environment for our public
safety professionals.
The Civic Design Awards celebrates the best examples of what can
be realized when architects and civic clients work together to
achieve
quality design. AIA Washington Council showcases the clients and
the architects who have demonstrated an appreciation for the
excellent
work done by AIA Members in the Washington Council. These
projects represent the finest standards in innovation,
sustainability, building performance, and overall integration with
the client and surrounding community.

Automated Photo Enforcement Program -School Zone Speed Cameras
Tukwila Slows in
School Zones
rt^Fa ,�^
Every year, Tukwila officers respond to multiple avoidable collisions caused by speeding in our city.
A pedestrian hit at 20mph has a 90 percent chance of survival which falls to 50 percent at 30mph
and 10 percent survival rate at 40mph. To keep our youth safe, the City of Tukwila is implementing an
Automated School Zone Speed Enforcement Program.
Photo enforcement of the school zone speed limit is just one approach to addressing this problem
on Tukwila streets and to keep our students and school staff members safe. Driving at or below 20
MPH gives people driving and children walking more time to see each other and react. The goal is to
improve safety for everyone.
In September of 2021, the City of Tukwila will begin using fixed cameras to enforce the 20 MPH
school zone speed limit at Showalter Middle School and Foster High School. Warnings will be issued
for the month of September as drivers get use to the new cameras. Beginning October 1, 2021,
warnings will stop and citations will be issued.
The speed cameras only operate when the school zone flashing beacons are in operation during
normal school hours in which students and staff will be coming and going from the area. If the
flashing beacon is activated, then the cameras are operating.
