MEMORANDUM
TO: Tukwila City Council
FROM: Bruce Fletcher "6
DATE: June 18, 2008
SUBJECT: Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan Proposed Project List
The following list of changes and comments has been sent to our consultant, Tom Beckwith. An updated copy of the
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan will be available on Monday, June 23, 2008. The Parks, Recreation and
Open Space Plan must also have a 6 year Capital Improvement Plan. Please review this .plan (page 4) and be
prepared to discuss at the June 23` COW. Please note that this project list does not mandate the city to build but to
refer the city to valuable projects goals in the next six years. It is the recommendation of the Director of Parks and
Recreation to approve the list of changes and the addition of the six year capital improvement plan.
Page I Comment
The order of City Council Members will to be according to seniority: Council President- Joe Duffie;
Officials Councilmember Joan Hernandez; Councilmember Pam Linder; Councilmember Dennis Robertson;
Councilmember Verna Griffen; Councilmember Kathy Hougardy; Councilmember De'Sean Quinn
Boat ramps and access_are marked as Tukwila having a minor role /responsibility. This should MAJOR
5 role, all four columns need an "X". Additionallyyouth and teen center columns also need an X in all four
columns.
2.4.1: P -17 pond is listed hereas a sensitive habitat site. Even though P -17 pond may provide habitat for
6 birds and other wildlife, it was.developed to serve as a storm water pond, and should not be designated or
included in any plans as a wildlife habitat area..
The Walk Roll -Plan contains design and development standards for on- and off-road trails. These
8 standards should be referenced in the Parks and Open Space Plan. Additionally, the concept of "Pocket
Parks" needs to be included. A section for proposed areas for Pocket Parks w/ goals needs to be
_developed too.
10 1 2.9.3 B. Teen Center near Foster High School needs to be listed.
DCD Comment:' Would it be-possible to include construction of trails and /or sidewalks as part of an
12
.impact fee or fee in -lieu mechanism? We (Moira and Jaimie) would like to set up some time to discuss
this with the consultant on the Parks Open Space Plan. Please list throughout plan that Walk and Roll
Plan will be incorporated coordinated with the PROSP.
8 The word pool needs to be removed from "South Tukwila Park/Pool please make this change
throughout the entire: document. Items 9 and 10 regarding hiking and biking are shown with Tukwila not
20 having any funding to=support these activities. One of the recommendations in the Walk Roll Plan is to
approve an additional budget so that city departments can include educational and encouragement
programs /activities to support more walking and biking activity in Tukwila.
22 P -17 Pond Park should be removed from the table (listed as #6) on this page, since it cannot be classified
as a Resource conservancy.
25 Macadam Wetland Addn: Remove, add move forward with Phase II development of Macadam Wetlands.
Interpretive map. What about proposing an interpretive site at the pedestrian bridge crossing over the
27 Green River in the TUC?
29 I #11 #13 are in wrong location, let us know if you need help with this.
Should consider placing artwork at intersections and /or key pedestrian corridors in pedestrian oriented
areas in the TUC (e.g. Baker Blvd, areas north of Strander Blvd).
31 Number 22 (Jake's) is not located on International Blvd, it is located off of East Marginal Way.
Waterfront access map. As part of the type, size location study for the pedestrian bridge crossing the
Green River in the TUC, initial study results show the need to purchase property on east side of river for
37 pedestrian bridge touch down point. Most likely the eastern touchdown point will be at the location of the
existing single family home off of W. Valley Hwy. This has not been finalized, but it should be considered
in planning process.
33/34 I Create a #25 and list as Baker Pedestrian Bridge, list on Page 34 as well.
37 I Add Baker pedestrian bridge, let us know if you have questions.
According to the new Duwamish river trail map. #5 on the map is in the wrong location. We believe #5 is
39 P -17 pond and if so, it can be removed.
43/44 Pg. 44, number 13 Tukwila Pond Park already has a picnic shelter. Pg44, number 14 please change
"Southcenter Mall" to "Tukwila Urban Center" This change should occur throughout the entire document.
42 -45 Proposing a public picnic shelter at Southcenter Mall does not make sense, there is a shelter at Tukwila
Pond
Multi- purpose trails map Is the North SeaTac Trail correct? The trail currently connects to North SeaTac
Park from a destination farther south, but does not connect all the way north to the Duwamish /Green
47 River Trail as shown on this map. The way #4 is symbolized makes this route confusing, it is shown as
both an existing and a proposed trail it's not clear how to tell the difference between which part is
existing and which is proposed.
Remove Southcenter/Tukwial Parkway (#4), Southcenter Parkway (north of S 180th Street) is not a
recommended Bicycle- Friendly Route in the Walk Roll Plan. It was decided not to include the section of
Southcenter Parkway from Tukwila Parkway to S 180th Street as a bicycle friendly route because of all
the off /on -ramps and driveways. Andover Park East or the Green River and Interurban Trails would
47 provide better north -south alternatives. These two routes (Southcenter Parkway and Tukwila Parkway)
should be made consistent with theRecommended Bicycle Friendly Routes listed in the Walk Roll Plan.
Other routes shown in the Walk Roll Plan that should be added to the Parks Open Space Plan
include Andover Park East, Minkler,`S 168th Street, and Baker Blvd. Not all of these are recommended as
Multipurpose trails, but represent routes that need bike lanes or other improvements to make them
bicycle friendly and to connect activity areas within the City with the Green River and Interurban Trails.
Items 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and`9 in the Proposed multipurpose trails table should be included as projects within
the Walk Roll Plan The Parks and Open Space should be amended to include the location of railroad
48 spurs in Tukwiia's Urban Center and within the MIC, as they are identified w /in the Walk Roll Plan as
potential multi -use trails in the future, if when railroad companies decide to abandon railroad routes and
easements.: The Duwamish River extension north of its current end point should be included as
another potential future trail connecting Tukwila to Seattle.
Change number 16 to read Tukwila`Urban Center, also under proposed park add Foster Point, and add
52 _parcel that is west of 42nd and south of 144- (great location for playground or small passive park).
DCD Comment: Walk arid_Roll Plan: indoor playgrounds at Southcenter mall? Can the location of the
52 53 Children's museum be broadened to the TUC'? We are trying to make the area north of Strander more of
a pedestrian oriented neighborhood, especially between the mall and the station, and around the Pond. A
children's museum would be a -great addition anywhere in this area don't limit it to the mall.
Skateboard Facility;_; Same comment as above. Broaden potential location to TUC, not just the mall.
53 54 Again change all Southcenter Mall" to "Tukwila Urban Center". Also, please list Crestview park as a
possible location for a Skateboard Facility. Change Skateboard court to Skateboard Facility throughout.
55 4th line down should read Proposed Skateboard Facilities" not existing.
59 Remove the followh g`from proposed outdoor volleyball courts: Codiga Far, Tukwila Community Center,
Foster MemPark Cascade View and Crystal Springs Parks.
73 I #4 incorrectly located on map
75 #4 references "downtown We are calling this area the urban center. References to this exist through
much of the document.
75 124 hour fitness is actually LA Fitness.
79 Add Stone Manor http:// www. northwestevents .com /stoneManor.htm), This is in Tukwila should also be
added to Appendix C -6 (per Joan Hernandez)
84/85 I Golf course expansion and driving range
87 -89 I Remove the following proposed restrooms: 57th Ave. Mini. Park, North Tukwila
105 I Ikawa park. Isn't WSDOT changing the configuration of this park with the 1 -405 expansion?
109 I Under Possible Improvements. The year should be 2011
Tukwila Pond Park. First paragraph should be changed to read: This 24.7 acre community park is
112 located off of Strander Blvd in the middle of the city's urban center." The description /figures of the park
should be updated with conceptual plan /preliminary design documents. It would also be appropriate to
recognize the value of the pond in wildfowl migration.
114 This project area, in the vicinity of Christensen Rd, has already been identified as a future off channel
salmon habitat project and boat launch.
121 I Remove "and west valley highway"
135 I Under action, third line down. The word police should be policy.
TUC plan proposes an open space requirement for most types of development, and provides for an in -lieu
137 fee as an optional way of meeting the requirement.
The Parks Plan includes both on -road (bike lanes) and off-road (multipurpose/multi-use trails) facilities for
bicycles. There is a map on p. 47 of the plan showing Multipurpose trails, but there is no map showing on-
a) road facilities. Should there also be a map (such as the Recommended Bicycle- Friendly Routes map)
showing on -road facilities, or should the Parks Open Space Plan reference the Recommended Bicycle-
Friendly Routes map we have in the Walk Roll Plan? The same goes for unpaved -multi -use trails. The
Parks Open Space Plan makes reference to recreational trails that would connect resource areas,
which is most similar to the unpaved multi-use trails in the Walk R oll Plan. Should the_Parks Open
Space Plan include a map of these trails, or adopt the maps in the Walk Roll Plan by reference? ADD:
C9 The city will also use the Walk and Roll plan as an acceptable work ing document that compliments the
Park, Rec. and Open Space Plan.
A -11 1st paragraph, 7th line names should not have an s.
4th paragraph down, 2nd sentence (late the Suquamish, late should have an R at the end
A -12 I Change city manager form of government to: city with strong mayor form of government.
c- I Should read LA Fitness, not 24 Hour fitness'
E -1 In the Sales Tax section make reference to Streamline Sales Tax to be implemented 7/1/08," include as
an example.
5th paragraph, Councilperson Joan Hernandez was unclear as to what REET Tukwila had /has adopted. I
E -9 think this was just a question that you had clarified w/ her in the CAP meeting in May not sure if it
should /needs clarification in document.
Add comment that rising fuel costs will continue to make the 'open space facilities' more and more
important to our citizens in the "Future Growth Implications" section.
The "City of Tukwila ELOS" not take into consideration the need for parks and open space for our
visitors (shoppers), the single largest population in the city. Needs to be a paragraph or two discussing
the numbers of visitors and their needs This should be the basis for the 'Pocket Parks" on Strander,
SouthCenter Parkway etc. Then we need to add something specific about 'shopper' or 'pocket' parks.
Dennis There needs to be a discussion somewhere that states:
Robertson's a. That school-districts are an important issue because of two reasons (1) they provide and use
Comments recreation facilities (2) they provide and use parks /recreation programming.
b. Tukwila school- district is the only one in the city that provides facilities within the city that we can
share the use of so it is-'more special
-c.. All of the school districts (Tukwila, Renton, Highline) should be using our facilities in some proportion
to the number of citizens (or students) they have
d. All of the school_ districts should share in the idea of using /sharing the city parks /recreation
clearinghouse website
I ALSO I Although it is far _too late to replace, however many of the maps are unreadable due to size scale.
ALSO Change ALL locations that state "Southcenter Mall" to Tukwila Urban Center
ALSO Wherever IAC is listed change to RCO
ALSO Please double check all spreadsheets located in the appendices as many columns are cut off and
wording is unreadable.
ALSO Please create a Proposed Project List that includes all proposed projects this plan recommends. I have
attached a sample from our last plan for reference.
