The street in question serves as the entrance to the museum property. There is no other part of 96 Place or Street around the Museum of Flight.

The Transportation Committee and the Community and Parks Committee considered the issue and both recommended approving the name change.

As you may know, the/Museum of Flight brings in well over one quarter million visitors a year. That number *ill be going up as we continue to expand.

This.street serves as our entrance, and it would serve our visitors well to have the street name changed in t$is manner. Our street address would remain for now.

Cantu, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: By: Office oche Ci rney Filed with the City Clerk: .S —11— 98 Passed by the City Council: ResolutionNumbP- /flan If �1 Pamela Linder, Council President Community and Parks November 12, 2003 Present: Joan Hernandez, Chair; Richard Simpson, Jim Haggerton Steve Lancaster, Maggie Lubov, Nick Olivas, Rhonda Berry, Cyndy Knighton, Lucy Lauterbach 1. Commute Trio Reduction Contracts Maggie explained there are two contracts. The first is from the State, and it is money allocated to the City's CTR program. The state contract for CTR is on a biennium and runs on a July 1 -June 30 basis, so this contract runs from July 2003 -June 2005. The grant will be for $39,279 the first year, and is based on both the number of affected employers and on the performance of those sites' improvement in reducing single car occupant trips each year. The contract is fairly clear. Maggie said the City had lost three sites in the last year, with the economy declines and Wade Cook leaving the City. She said, however, that Tukwila has lost fewer sites than other areas throughout the State, which seem to have been hit harder than we have been hit. The second contract is with King County, and is a contract for them to do some data collection and monitoring. Maggie thought it was well worth the $21,979 of the contract as it results in unassailable numbers and saves much work by the City. This contract is for one year. Maggie had put together a notebook with maps and data about commuting in the region, the South end, and Tukwila. She noted that use of the rail has gone up markedly, though it is still a small percentage of trips. Tukwila employees who live in Tacoma, Puyallup, or Auburn use it daily, which helps our numbers. Some CTR sites in Tukwila have met their goals through carpools, vanpools, compressed work weeks, buses, and other commutes. Tukwila's single car driver rate is 80 Recommend contracts to Council. 2. Museum of Flight Renaming Nick explained the Museum of Flight has asked to change the name of S.96`" Place to Museum of Flight Street. It is less a street than a driveway at the Museum. The Committee talked about the implication of granting this request, and whether it would encourage other businesses to make similar requests. The committee wanted to know if there were any criteria to consider in making this recommendation. They talked about whether Costco should be allowed to rename Saxon Drive, which is a street name that could have historical significance. Recommend resolution to COW annroving new street name. Committee approval /SS Committee chair approval Transportation Committee October 27, 2003 Present: Richard Simpson, Chair; Dave Fenton, Pam Linder Jim Morrow, Brian Shelton, Gail Labanara, Frank Iriarte, Pat Brodin, Alan Doerschel, Nick Olivas, Lucy Lauterbach 1. Museum of Flight Request Nick said he had received a request for a street name change off of East Marginal. The Museum of Flight has asked to change a numbered street to Museum of Flight Drive. The committee had some reservations about other companies then requesting changes for streets to bear their company names. However, in this instance, they agreed it might be o.k. to change 96 Street to Museum of Flight Street or Drive. Jim noted Public Works could have a concern about the size of all those letters on a sign. Richard asked if the Museum would pay for the sign, and Jim M replied they would. Recommend resolution to COW. 2. Proposed CIP and Budgets The committee reviewed, asked questions about, and ultimately approved the Streets (residential and commercial) and Facilities CIPs, and those budgets plus the Administration and Equipment Rental budgets. Jim said this is his department's third year of reductions, and that though they can manage in 2004, if the 4% limits continue, some service levels will drop in future years. Street's budget has been reduced 40% since 2001. There is no more extra labor, and Public Works cannot respond to requests for things like graffiti removal or trash pickups as quickly as they would like. Budgets reviewed.
