• Re: METRO Park and Ride lot - 85- 17 -SMP
Dear Larry:
n! yin •.rrennawe:�r.:! ^.•xnw�cN
This letter is to follow up our telephone conversation of June 4, 1985
wherein I confirmed that the May 23, 1985 decision of the Tukwila Planning
Commission did not require annexation of the King County portions of the
Park and Ride facility to the City of Tukwila. The Commission requires
only that METRO support the annexation in order to minimize disruption of
City services to the Park and Ride facility.
A copy of this letter is being forwarded to Brian Glynn, King County
Building and Land Development Division, to correct my letter of May 24,
1985 sent to King County regarding your concurrent application through the
County.
Respectfully,
L. Rick Beeler

STAFF REPORT
85 -18 -CUP AND DR- 09 -85: METRO PARK AND RIDE LOT
AGENDA ITEM :
INTRODUCTION
METRO has purchased the property surrounding the existing Gull service station at
13435 Interurban Avenue South for a park- and -ride lot. Some houses have been
removed from the property, and METRO is ready to begin construction of the first
phase of the facility. During previous reviews of the Gull station remodel
METRO's intentions were discussed.
FINDINGS
1. On April 9, 1985, METRO applied for Board of Archietecture Review, a
Conditional Use Permit and a Shoreline Management Substantial Development
Permit for a park and ride lot at approximately 13447 Interurban Avenue
South.
2. On October 14, 1983, METRO issued a Final Declaration of Non - Significance for
the proposal. The City Tukwila did not take lead agency status per the State
Envrionmental Policy Act in the matter.
3. The subject 4.3 acre site is zoned Tukwila C -2 (Regional Retail Business) and
King County RM -2400 (Multiple Family), and surrounds the Gull service station
at 13435 Interurban Avenue South, and a small portion lies directly across
this street. Seven existing single family homes and a commercial building
have been or will be removed from the property to accommodate the proposed
development. TMC 18.30.040 and 18.64.020 (9) stipulate park and ride lots
require a conditional use permit.
4. The property is irregularly shaped and lies mostly in King County. Two small
parcels are within the City (Exhibit 1). Both jurisdictions are processing
Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permits. King County is also
requiring an unclassified use permit. Both permits will be heard by the
County on June 27, 1985.
5. .The property lies within the area of the Shoreline Master Plan, thereby
requiring a Shoreline Management Substantial Development Permit per WAC
173 -14. Therefore, Board of Architecture Review approval is required per TMC
18.60.030(2)(A).
6. Being located along Interurban Avenue South, the property lies within the
Interurban Special Review District of TMC 18.60.060.
'Page -2-
Planning Commission
85 -18 -CUP and DR- 09 -85: METRO PARK AND RIDE LOT
May 23, 1985
7. TMC 18.60.050 and 18.60.060 contain design review guidelines for the Board of
Architecture Review to utilize in reaching its decision. The Board may
approve, modify or deny the application based upon findings and conclusions.
8. METRO's proposed park and ride consists of approximately 260 parking stalls,
landscaping, passenger shelters, transit information displays and signing,
irrigation system, lighting and telephone booths, and motorcycle and bicycle
parking (Exhibit 3). A single access point is proposed at the northwest
corner and the southeast corner of the site. Sidewalks are indicated along
Interurban Avenue South, 52nd Avenue South, and around the Gull station pro-
perty. (The property abuts Interurban Avenue South and 52nd Avenue South).
9. Signage on the property is an administrative decision per the City's Sign Code
(TMC 19).
CONCLUSIONS
1. Conditional Use Permit
A. Criteria TMC 18.64.050(1): The proposed use will not be materially
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or impro-
vements in the vicinity of the proposed use or in the district in which
the subject property is situated.
Material detriment or injury to other properties do not appear to be caused by
the proposal. Traffic engineering considerations have been appropriately
addressed. Single family residences in close proximity have been protected by
landscaping and a 5 - 6 foot accoustical wall. Intersection improvements at
52nd Avenue South and Interurban Avenue South will be constructed per Public
Works Department requirements.
B. Criteria TMC 18.64.050(2): The proposed use shall meet or exceed the
performance standards that are required in the district it will occupy.
Landscaping standards of TMC 18.52.020 and TMC 18.52.030(2) are met except
along the south side of one of the transit shelter stations. The building
setback requirements of TMC 18.50 are not met for the proposed transit shelter
stations. A 10 foot building setback must be maintained from the property
line unless a variance is granted by the Board of Adjustment. The Board of
Architecture Review may grant a deviation of up to 5 feet of setback areas per
TMC 18.60.060(5)(6) and a landscaping deviation of up to 20% or relocation per
TMC 18.60.060(5)(C).
In a separate section of this report other criteria for the Board of
Architecture Review to grant the deviations will be addressed. It is staff's
conclusion that the proposal complies with the criteria and that the
deviations should be granted for all but the westerly corner of Interurban
Avenue South and 52n Avenue South.

Planning Commission
85 -18 -CUP and DR- 09 -85: METRO PARK AND RIDE LOT
May 23, 1985
C. Criteria TMC 18.64.050(3): The proposed development shall be compatible
generally with the surrounding land uses in terms of traffic and
pedestrian circulation, building and site design.
Submitted plans indicate the proposal will be generally compatible with the
adjacent land uses.
D. Criteria TMC 18.64.050(4): The proposed use shall be in keeping with the
goals and policies of the comprehensive land use policy plan.
Access to the property conforms to the desired access design of Policy 9, p.
74, Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan. An accoustical wall separates the
closest single family residence (Policy 11, p. 74, Plan). The park and ride
facility is part of METRO's service to the community (Objective 3, p. 76;
Policies 1 and 2, p. 77, Plan). Adequate pedestrian circulation is provided
on the site (Objective 6, p. 79 and Policy 2, p. 80, Plan). The site plan is
aesthetically acceptable (Policies 3 and 4, p. 61, Plan). Adequate parking
appears to be provided (Policy 7, p. 62, Plan). Therefore, the proposal con-
forms to the Comprehensive Land Use Policy Plan.
Equally important to consider is the relationship of the proposal to the
City's Shoreline Master Plan goals and policies. Conformance exists in the
proposal.
E. Criteria TMC 18.64.050(5): All measures have been taken to minimize the
possible adverse impacts which the proposed use may have on the area in
which it is located.
In the interest of public safety, health and welfare the proposal should:
1. Fence (8 feet high) the portions of the site adjoining other privately
owned properties
2. Landscape to maximize vision of passing motorists and police vehicles.
3. Illuminate all shelter stations and walkway areas /sidewalks, and parking
areas.
4. Annex King County property (approximately 75 % of the site) to the City
of Tukwila.
Park and ride facilities attract criminal and mischievous activity unless
adequate security, lighting and visibility is provided. Therefore, the
City Police Department recommends the aforementioned measures to ade-
quately minimize these problems. Fencing will prevent access from the
facility to adjacent properties. Low growth landscaping with 4" caliper
deciduous trees will maximize public and police patrol visual access into
the facility, thereby increasing the ability to discover criminal or
suspicious activity. Increasing the number of lighting fixtures to illu-

85 -18 -CUP and DR- 09 -85: METRO PARK AND RIDE LOT
May 23, 1985
minate all of the parking, walking and shelter areas will also increase
visibility of human activity at the facility, particularly the shelter
stations and deck area on the north side of Interurban Avenue South.
These measures will increase the safety and confidence of METRO riders.
Annexation to Tukwila is recommended because the City will be providing
police and emergency services to the facility. When any difficulties
arise, City services will be called and dispatched. However, problems of
jurisdiction will arise for criminal prosecution in King County or
Tukwila courts and jails, which drastically increase the City's cost of
serving the facility. Arrests made on County property (75% of the site)
must be tried in Seattle, while Tukwila's jail and court is located in
City Hall. Furthermore, it will beneficially straighten the City's boun-
dary line in the area.
2. Board of Architecutre Review Deviation of Building Setbacks
A. Criteria TMC 18.60.060(5)(13)(i): The proposed development is
pedestrian- oriented either in its intended use or design.
The transit shelter stations are for the use of METRO patrons waiting for
buses. At that point the patrons have either walked to the shelters from
the surrounding community or the proposed park and ride lot. Therefore,
the shelters are "pedestrian- oriented."
B. Criteria TMC 18.60.060(5)(13)(ii): The proposed development is of
such a scale, configuration, or design so as to provide a more
desirable and compatible relationship with the street and pedestrian
circulation system than the standard setback requirements.
The required 10 foot building setback of TMC 18.18.50 would place the shelter
stations an inappropriate distance from sidewalks and bus loading areas. A
5 -foot setback is better, although maybe not optimal.
Therefore, the 5 -foot setback deviation should be approved.
3. Board of Architecture Reveiw Deviation of the Landscaping Requirements
A. Criteria TMC 18.60.060(5)(C)(i): Existing and /or proposed landscape
areas are effectively used so as to provide more desirable tran-
sitions from the street and neighboring properties than the standard
landscaping requirements.
A 20 % .reduction of the required 10 feet of landscaping would yield 8 feet of
landscaping. The site plan indicates no landscaping between the property line
and any shelter stations and /or automobiles at the intersection of Interurban
Avenue South and 52nd Avenue South. Therefore, relocation of the landscaping
is actually requested.

85 -18 -CUP and DR- 09 -85: METRO PARK AND RIDE LOT
May 23, 1985
Appropriate use of landscaping to accomplish transition /buffering of adjacent
private properties has been provided. However, transition from the proposed
parking lot and Interurban Avenue Sout is not adequately accomplished. Only a
sidewalk and shelter station is used for transition, which does not meet this
criteria.
On the opposite corner of Interurban Avenue South the landscaping behind the
shelter stations and sidewalk adequately transitions the site from the street
and adjacent properties. The relocation deviation should be approved in this
area.
B. Criteria TMC 18.60.060(5)(C)(ii): Sufficient natural, mature vege-
tation is maintained in the proposed development.
Maintenance of landscaping on the property should be assured via the proposed
irrigation system. The proposal contains sifficient "natural mature vegeta-
tion" if 4" caliper deciduous trees and substituted for the proposed trees.
4. Board of Architecture Review and Interurban Special Review Guidelines
A. Criteria TMC 18.60.050(1): Relationship of Structure to Site
The only structures proposed are the three transit shelter stations which are
the typical design used by METRO. Each shelter is 9i feet in height and is to
be placed adjacent to the sidewalk. Landscaping will be behind only the two
shelters on the northerly side of Interurban Avenue South.
Adequate transition is accomplished with the streetscape, however, landscaping
should be provided behind the shelter station adjacent to the park and ride
lot. This landscaping will "moderate the visual impact" of the parking lot.
(TMC 18.60.060(4)(D)).
B. Criteria TMC 18.60.050(2): Relationship of Structure and Site to
Adjoining Area
Landscaping should be provided around the shelter station at the facility to
appropriately supply transition of the parking lot from the area and northerly
Duwamish River environment. The shelter stations design is acceptable rela-
tive to the character of the neighborhood. Access to the site is compatible
with the circulation of Interurban Avenue South and 52nd Avenue South. (TMC
18.60.060(4)(A) and (D)).
C. Criteria TMC 18.60.050(3): Landscape and Site Treatment
Proposed sidewalks safely distribute people to the edges of the parking lot.
Otherwise, pedestrians must walk between cars and across vehicular aisleways,
which is not an optimal safety situation. (TMC 18.60.060(4)(C)).
Screening of the shelter station next to the parking facility is not provided.
Some landscaping should be installed in this area (TMC 18.60.060(4)(D)).

85 -18 -CUP and DR- 09 -85: METRO PARK AND RIDE LOT
May 23, 1985
Illumination of the area is to be by cut -off square luminaries mounted on
square concrete poles. The lights will give off the typical orange tint of
sodium vapor. While the fixtures and lighting is acceptable, staff finds that
additional fixtures are necessary to provide adequate illumination of all of
the parking lot and shelter station areas. (TMC 18.60.060(4)(C) and (D)).
D. Criteria TMC 18.60.050(4): Building Design
The three brown transit shelter stations are of the same typical design used
by METRO. Glass and metal comprise the structures. Wood benches are provided
for patrons. These structures are appropriate for the neighborhood. The pro-
posed metal and concrete lighting fixtures are compatible with the structures.
(TMC 18.60.060(4)(D)).
E. Criteria TMC 18.60.050(5): Miscellaneous Structures and Street Fur-
niture
Bicycle racks, cedar bollards and bus information signs will be provided on
the site. These fit the design concept of the proposal. In addition, the
complementary lighting fixtures meet the criteria of TMC 18.60.050.
5. Shoreline Zone Regulations of TMC 18.44
All of the proposed structures and parking lie beyond 40 feet from the line of
ordinary high water of the Duwamish River. The "low- impact environment" regu-
lations of TMC 18.44.140 apply to the transit shelter stations on the
northerly side of Interurban Avenue South. These regulations are met provided
"large hardy shade trees" are provided by the shelter stations.
PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the above, staff preliminarily recommends approval of the applications
subject to:
1. Revision of the landscaping plan to include low profile shrubs and 4 -inch
caliper deciduous trees per review and approval of the Planning and Police
Departments.
2. Addition of 10 feet of landscaping behind the southerly transit shelter sta-
tion per review and approval of the Planning Department or approval of a
variance from the Board of Adjustment.
3. Relocation of the transit shelter stations to 5 feet from the property lines
or approval of a variance from the Board of Adjustment.
4. Addition of an 8 -foot high security fence along the perimeter of the site
adjacent to private property.
5. Addition of lighting to illuminate all transit shelter stations, walkway
areas /sidewalks, and parking areas.

1. The Tukwila Park - and -Ride facility is a public facility
designed to serve Tukwila residents and other commuters.
Metro's facility design includes drainage detention facili-
ties, landscaping, lighting, noise barriers, roadway, and
sidewalk improvements. Metro has also committed to addi-
tional offsite traffic improvements to provide for public
welfare and safety. No significant environmental impacts
are anticipated as a result of the proposal. Traffic and
noise analysis are included in the environmental checklist
provided.
2. The park- and -ride lot would be located in the "high impact"
shoreline environment which allows all uses permitted by
the underlying zoning district (18.44.150). The underlying
zoning district is C -2. C -2 district uses provide for
diversified commercial /retail activities which serve a
regional clientele.
The Tukwila Park -and -Ride project meets the district
requirements. Metro environmentally assessed the project
site and coordinated an environmental review with the City
of Tukwila and King County. See Final Declaration of Non -
Significance Tukwila Park - and -Ride Lot October 14, 1983.
3. The Tukwila Park and Ride facility would be located on
Interurban Avenue South. Interurban Avenue is the only
continuous north -south surface arterial through the Green
River Valley. Interurban Avenue, Southcenter Boulevard,
I -5, and the I- 405 /Grady Way junction with the West Valley
Road (SR -181), are the important roadway facilities in this
area. These roadways provide "maximum exposure" for the
proposed park- and -ride site. I -5 on and off -ramps
intersect with Interurban Avenue immediately north of the
park -and -ride site. The on and off ramps would carry
nearly 10% less peak -hour volume with the park-and-ride
facility.
Land uses at Interurban Avenue South and I -5 are in transi-
tion to more intensive uses. The site is located just
north and east of a residential neighborhood with a number
of multiple - family units. Adjacent residential housing
would be buffered from the park- and -ride facility by
construction of an acoustical barrier and landscaping.
The parking lot access and internal circulation layout for
the site is designed to minimize on -site conflicts and
Elakit31T 7.
potential hazards between auto and bus traffic and between
pedestrian and vehicular movements. Park - and -ride autos
could enter or leave the site via a driveway onto 52nd
Avenue located 200 feet southwest of the Interurban inter-
section. A second driveway would be available on
Interurban Avenue just north of the Gull Industries
property. The second driveway would be restricted to a
right turn into the park -and -ride from southbound Interurban
Avenue and a right turn out of the park- and -ride lot onto
southbound Interurban Avenue. Appropriate channelization
improvements and signing would be provided to implement
these turning movements.
Pedestrian and vehicular conflicts would be minimal. Com-
muters would walk toward Interurban where on- street bus
stops are provided, while park- and -ride autos would be
routed to and from the entry points along a collector road
at the site's far west boundary. Bus passengers loading or
unloading to and from northbound buses would have to cross
Interurban Avenue using the existing flashing signal
crossing south of 52nd Avenue.
4. Metro reviewed the City of Tukwila's Comprehensive Land Use
Policy Plan. The proposed project supports the following
plan goal and objectives.
Transportation /Utilities
Goal 2 - Provide for a transportation system which includes
all transportation modes.
Transit - Objective 2
Promote an effective and viable mass transit system which
ties the Tukwila area to the region.
Policy 2 - Support efforts to increase transit use.
Policy 4 - Promote freeway transit stops in conjunction
with local park- and -ride lots.
5. The project design provides for on -site drainage detention,
acoustical barriers, landscaping, retaining walls, curbs,
gutters, sidewalks, and a series of off -site improvements
including:
o Widening 52nd Avenue adjacent to the park-and-ride
site to provide two approach lanes and one exit lane
at Interurban Avenue.
o Providing fully- actuated traffic signal is planned for
the intersection of Interurban Avenue and 52 Avenue.

Design studies have commenced for the joint City of Tukwila /King
County project to construct a new Foster. Bridge. The previous
bridge was aligned on 56th Avenue S. approximately 100 feet north
of the 52nd Avenue S. intersection:kand was removed after it
collapsed several years ago. The current proposal aligns the
new bridge to,junction with Interurban Avenue opposiee- 352nd
Avenue S. The intersection would be signalized, which would
serve bridge traffic, auto traffic to and from the park- and -ride
lot, passenger movement between the northbound bus pullout and
the park- and -ride lot, and nonsite traffic from 52nd Avenue S. •
The opening date for the new bridge would be late 1984 or 1985.
The City of Tukwila proposes to improve Interurban Avenue South
from Southcenter Boulevard to Interstate 5. Improvements would .
include curbs, gutters, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, transit turn-
outs, additional landscaping, pedestrian and traffic signalization.
II. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS (Explanations of all "yes" and "maybe"
answers are required.)
1) Earth. Will' the proposal result in:
a) Unstable earth conditions or in
changes in geologic substructures?
b) Disruptions, displacements,
compaction or overcovering of the
soil?
c) Change in topography or ground
surface relief features?
d) The destruction, covering or
modification of any unique geologic
or physical features?
e) Any increase in wind or water
erosion of soils, either on or off
the site?
Explanation: - See Attachment
2) Air. Will the proposal result in:
a) Air emissions or deterioration of
ambient air quality?

The site straddles the change in slope at the foot of a hill.
The highest point of the site isin the southwest corner at about
a 50 -foot elevation. The ground descends toward Interurban Ave.
to about 20 feet, about a 25 percent slope. At the 20 -foot
elevation, the ground flattens and continues across the central
and northeastern site to Interurban Avenue. The topography
remains relatively level across Interurban Avenue to the banks
of the Duwamish River. The level portion of the site is partially
paved or developed, covering portions of the site.
Some modification to the original topography may have occurred
because it appears the toe of the slope has been excavated,
extending the level portion of the site to the southwest. No
unique geologic formations are evident on any alternative sites.
The site soils are composed of glacial till and recent alluvial
soils which probably underlies the northeastern portion of the
site adjacent to Interurban Avenue. Fill may be present on
portions of the site which has past development.
Glacial till, a dense unsorted silt, sand and gravel mixture, is
exposed in small, old cuts on the southwest edges of the existing
parking lots. Previous geologic mapping indicates that till
underlies most of the site's southwest portion.
Sandstone is visible in a 20 -foot bluff at the .southern corner
of the Interurban Avenue and 52nd Avenue South intersection
across.. the the street from the site. The sandstone is com-
pletely weathered at the surface and can be easily gouged.
Sandstone may also underlie the glacial till. Recessional
outwash is mapped in a narrow northward - trending deposit in
the southwest corner of the site. This deposit generally
consist of well- sorted sand with gravel.
The proposed action requires grading and filling to develop
a uniform slope. The majority of the site would be paved.
Erosion is possible during construction but measures will be
used to channel surface water away from slopes. Temporary
fabric would also cover exposed soils on embankments.
A pond would also be constructed to remove sediment before
discharge in to the drainage system.

The site is located in the Green River watershed in the range of
river mile 9 to 10. Site runoff would be conveyed to the
Interurban Avenue drainage system and ultimately discharged into
the Green River about river mile 10. (See figure 11.) The
following table displays the increases in runoff rate as a result
of paving the existing permeable surface areas.

Water quality could be affected during construction grading
because site soils would be exposed to potential water erosion.
Without mitigating measures, there may be significant soil loss
and significant soil loss and subsequent increases in suspended
and settled solids in site runoff. Downstream sedimentation and
turbidity may result. The risk of flooding could also increase
if sedimentation clogs storm sewers.
• Long -term operation of a park- and -ride lot would result
intensified site use and increased concentrations of various
pollitants in site runoff. An increase in ..po11tant
concentrations reaching the Green River is anticipated. Adjacent
land uses are producing similar or worse runoff quality.
Significant impacts on groundwater quality is not anticipated.
Runoff detention would be provided in conventional surface
detention facilities. Runoff detention storage capacity for a
10 -year storm would be 4,900 cubic feet. On -site flood storage
would be provided for the 100 -year, 7 day storm or the equivalent
of 10 inches of rainfall. The detention storage for the above
condition would be accommodated within the parking area. The
100 -year, 7 -day flood storage requirement would be about 155,000
cubic feet. During construction the following measures would be
implemented to reduce impacts on water quality:
o Scheduling construction activities during the summer months
of June through September. Special conditions would be
instituted for work during other months with the appropriate
agencies.
'o Usingtemporaryerosioncontrol proceduressuchas strawbales,
fabric and plastic sheeting to cover soil stockpiles.
o Minimizing slopes of earth fill banks.
Revegetating landscaped areas as soon as possible following •
construction.
o Providing erosion control performance criteria in
construction specifications and adequate construction
inspection.
Metro would provide detention facilities to also promote
sedimentation preliminary site schematics indicate about 3600
square feet of developable space for sedimentation facilities.
The amount of surface area provided would remove 40 micron size
particles and larger with about a 50 percent pollutant removal
efficiency. Additional sedimentation space could be provided
which would reduce the number of parking stalls. Insoluble
materials such as oil and grease would be additionally mitigated
by using elbow and tee pipes in storm sewer manholes or
coalescing plate oil /water separators. An artificial wetland
could be created in the buffer strip between parking areas.
Also, detention time could be extended to promote sedimentation.

No 6 Noise
Noise resulting from park- and -ride lot operations would exceed
King County ordinance levels by only 1 dBA and only at receivers
bordering the entrance and exit adjoining 52nd Avenue South. For
receivers abutting this entrance and exit automobile noise could
be mitigated by constructing a barrier along the length of the
driveway on the property line.
According to EPA guidelines, receivers very close to the entrance
off of 52nd Avenue South would experience insignificant
increases, in Leg during morning rush hour due to automobile
traffic on the site. The accumulated noise exposure over 24 -hour
period (Ldn) would be unaffected for all receivers. These
receivers presently experience noise levels that exceed the
federal government's recommendation for maximum 24 -hour total
residential noise levels (Ldn), and that level would not change
due to noise from the park- and -ride lot.

II. Environmental Impacts
No. 12 Housing
The proposed park- and -ride lot would remove seven residences .
including five single - family units, one duplex and one triplex
displacing about ten persons. Two businesses would also be
removed.
Metro would provide sufficient relocation personnel, •experienced
in both residential and business relocations to this project.
These relocation agents will explain and identify all relocation
alternatives to the people being displaced from both residences
and businesses. :This will be done under the guidelines as set
forth in Public Law 91 -646, the Uniform Relocation Assistance and
Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and
the regulations of the Urban Mass Transit Administration as
defined in the circular, UMTA CA4530.1, dated March 21, 1978.
Duties may also include assisting displacees to fill out forms•
required by lending institutions, the Small Business
Administration and others on leasing and purchasing new
premises. Assistance will also be rendered in preparing and
filing claims for reimbursement after relocation has been
completed.
II Environmental Impacts
No. 13 Transportation a & d
The operation of a park - and -ride lot would attract about 260
vehicles for all day commuter parking. Commuters would ride the
bus or carpool to complete their respective trips. An estimated
670 auto trips would maximize use of the 260 stall facility.
About 35% of the total auto movements at the site would 'occur
during the 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. period. About 80% of the peak -hour
trips would exit from the park- and -ride facility while 20% would
enter during the afternoon peak hour.
Park- and -ride lot commuters are either Tukwila residents (coming
down from hill via 52nd and 58th Avenues), other commuters along
Interurban, or rerouted commuters from I -5 and I -405 corridors.
In addition to the auto mode trips, a number of bus trips would
be routed to the park -and -ride facility. Approximately 200 bus••
trips would service the lot each weekday, with a total of 200
daily and 20 peak -hour bus trips' stopping along Interurban
adjacent to the park- and -ride lot. The projected 870 daily auto •
and bus trips and 260 p.m. peak -hour trips will primarily.
distribute along Interurban Avenue with approximately 20% of the •
trips using•52nd Avenue to and from the Tukwila residential hill
area.
Exiting park- and -ride autos and existing 52nd Avenue traffic
stopped at the Interurban intersection could experience very long
delays (LOS E) at times during the afternoon peak -hour. With
completion of the new Foster Bridge and proposed realignment of
56th Avenue to meet the 52nd Avenue and Interurban Avenue
intersection, traffic from the bridge or the existing driveway
opposite 52nd Avenue would also experience considerable delays
(LOS E) in attempting to cross or turn left onto Interurban
Avenue.
The existing two -way left -turn lane would accommodate "inbound"
left -turn site traffic from Interurban onto 52nd Avenue and left
turns to 56th Avenue. With or without the park- and -ride
facility, Interurban Avenue would handle over 20,000 vehicles per
day (vpd) by 1985 near the site but at tolerable service levels,
because the capacity of the five -lane roadway is approximately
30,000 vpd. I -5 on and off -ramp intersections with Interurban
Avenue immediately north of the site would carry nearly 10% less
peak -hour volume and continue to operate at levels -of- service
(LOS A).
All buses serving the park - and -ride facility would load and
unload commuters at on- street bus zones along special pullout
areas on both sides of Interurban Avenue. Potential conflicts

with auto traffic would occur during routine merging along
Interurban at the bus pullout zones. All park - and- ride 'autos
would enter or leave the site via a single driveway onto 52nd
Avenue located 200 feet southwest of the Interurban intersection.
The only hazard generated by this proposed access is potential
right -angle or rear -end collisons between exiting park- and -ride
autos and existing 52nd and 53rd Avenues vehicles coming down the
hill. During the p.m. peak period, backups from the stop sign at
Interurban could extend as far as the entry driveway and at times
block both park- and -ride and non-site traffic destined to
Interurban Avenue.
Pedestrian and vehicular conflicts would be minimal since
commuters, would walk toward Interurban where on- street bus stops
would be provided, while park- and -ride autos would be routed to
and from the single entry point along a collector road at the far
west boundary of the site. Bus passengers loading or unloading
to and from northbound buses would have to cross Interurban
Avenue by using the existing flashing signal crossing south of
52nd Avenue.
In order to mitigate the off -site impacts of the proposed park -
and -ride, the following street and signal improvements would be
negotiated with the local jurisdiction:
o . Widening of 52nd Avenue adjacent to the park -and -ride site
to provide two approach lanes and one exit lane at Interuban
Avenue. A left /through and a right - turn- only would be
included and extend from Interurban Avenue to the park -and-
ride auto driveway. Provide striped island just east of the
entry to delineate the left -turn egress movement from the
park- and -ride lot and the reverse -curve transition from one
to two eastbound lanes.
o A fully- actuated traffic signal is recommended for the
intersection of Interurban Avenue and 52nd and 56th Avenues.
The signal will be required to permit safe egress at this
intersection by autos. The traffic controller should have
capabilities to accomodate a left -turn pahse for Interurban
Avenue and multiphase capability for 52nd and 56th Avenues.
Signals at this location would substantially reduce the
projected average delay and potential hazard for the site
traffic as well as for the existing 52nd Avenue and future
traffic on the new Foster Bridge. This improvement is part
of the Foster Bridge reconstruction project.
o Provide pedestrian signal and crosswalk for all four legs of
the 52nd Avenue and Interurban Avenue intersection to
safely accommodate pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

o Convert the existing two -way left -turn lane (14 feet wide)
along Interurban 'Avenue on both sides of the 52nd /56th
Avenues intersection into left -turn lanes -to accommodate
projected turning volumes onto 52nd Avenue (toward park -and-
ride lot) and the new Foster Bridge.
o Prior to' design Metro in conjunction with Tukwila and King
County Officials would discuss realignment of 52nd Avenue
with the Foster Bridge improvement.
o Provide curb, gutters and sidewalks along Interurban. and
52nd Avenues adjacent to the park - and -ride lot to separate
pedestrians and bicyclists from vehicular traffic.
o Install "Stop" and "Do not Block Intersection" signs along
the park- and -ride entrance driveway at its intersection with
52nd Avenue in order to discourage blocking 52nd and 53rd
Avenues traffic during peak periods when queues from the
Interurban Avenue intersection may on occasion extend back
to the park- and -ride auto driveway.
A second driveway for the park- and -ride lot is under
considertion. This driveway would be on Interurban Avenue just
north of the Gas n' Go property and would be restricted through
appropriate channelization and signing to a right turn into the
park - and -ride from southbound Interurban Avenue and a right turn
out of the park- and -ride lot to southbound Interurban Avenue.
This access would benefit most p.m. peak -hour destinations, which
are from the park - and - ride.lot to southbound Interurban Avenue.
This movement would thus be divided between the 52nd Avenue park -
and -ride driveway and the subject exit. Convenience and travel
time benefits would accrue to those motorist, and the park -and-
ride's circulation would be reduced, although overall level of
service at the 52nd Avenue intersection (under the recommended
signalization) is calculated to remain at a LOS A.
