B. 2010 3` Ouarter Reoorts
The Committee reviewed the status of program goals as outlined in the 2010 3` Quarter Report, and
asked questions as appropriate. INFORMATION ONLY.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
Committee Member Ekberg inquired about the light brightness of the street lamps on Tukwila
International Boulevard. Currently, the lights emit a darker sort of amber lighting versus a bright white
light. Statistics show that crimes are less likely to happen in well -lit areas, and Committee Member
Ekbreg is interested in knowing if brighter light is an option on the Boulevard. Frank Iriarte will check
with the Street Division to research this possibility.
Committee Member Ekberg also suggested publicizing the priority snow routes in the Hazelnut and/or
Tukwila Reporter.
Meeting adjourned at 5:49 p.m.
Next meeting: Tuesday, November 23, 2010 5:00 p.m. Conf. Room No. 1.
