To: BACKGROUND DISCUSSION City of Tukwila INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Mayor Haggerton Community Affairs and Parks Committee From: Jack Pace, Director Date: April 20, 2010 Subject: Renaming Tukwila Sounder Station ISSUE Sound Transit staff is requesting the City's input on the renaming of the Sounder "Tukwila Station." They suggest "Tukwila Longacres Station." Jim Haggerton, Mayor The Tukwila City Council provided input to the Sound Transit Board via a motion regarding the Link station name. With the Link station now operational, many people are referring to it as the Tukwila station rather than the Tukwila International Boulevard station; thereby causing confusion with the Sounder Tukwila Station. Sound Transit Staff are suggesting a name change for the Sounder station to help alleviate confusion. The Sounder commuter rail service has been operating since 1991. The Tukwila Station also acts as an Amtrak stop for the Cascades service, which is a Pacific Northwest regional train service between Eugene and Vancouver B.C. As a system, there are few stops and all the existing station names reflect the City where the Station is located, except the Tacoma Dome station. See the Sound Transit System Map that is attached. The general requirements established by the Sound Transit Board for the naming of facilities are as follows: 1. Station names must reflect the nature of their environment such as landmarks, and street names plus geographical location. 2. Station names will be brief and easy to read 3. Station names must adhere to the 30 characters per name standard to insure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. 4. Commercial names should be avoided because names can change and prove costly and confusing to the public. The Sounder station's address is 7301 S. Longacres Way; therefore the Tukwila Longacres station is a reasonable recommendation. It reflects the actual street location, is less than 30 characters in length, and reflects the history of the area. INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 RECOMMENDATION Forward this item to the May 10 Committee of the Whole meeting with a motion citing the City's preference for a new name for the Sounder station.
