IV. MISCELLANEOUS
• 52ND Ave S /S137th St & Vicinity
Robin distributed a WSDOT Functional Classification Map that shows 53rd Ave S/S 137th St /52nd
Ave S, off of Interurban Ave S, as an existing arterial route for federal highways. This signifies
that this triangle area could be eligible forfederal and state grants. We may be able to add a
second phase to the 53rd Ave S improvements forthe area. The Residential Streets Prioritization
Study will be presented to Transportation Committee soon, which will review the 221 segments
throughout Tukwila that need improvements. For an example, in the triangle area, 52nd Ave S
and 53rd Ave S both rate in the top 20 project segments for warranting street improvements.
Committee would like to see the criteria for the Residential Street Prioritization at the future
meeting.
• Department of Ecology's (DOE) New Rule Oil Spill Contingences - Railroad
The Oil Spill Contingency Plan Rule for Railroads was brought back for further discussion (originally
distributed at the 4/18 Transportation Committee). Committee members agreed that there were
no recommended comments forsubmittal to DOE.
• Parking issues at 40th Ave S and Southcenter Blvd near the TIB International Blvd Light Rail
Station /Gilliam Creek. Jessica Jerwa is concerned about the transit riders parking and leaving trash
on dead end 40th Ave S and the gravel access road that services Sound Transit and WSDOT. There is
currently no signage and it is becoming dangerous as cars are parking and blockingthe access road
and fire hydrant. Committee requested thatstaff investigate the previous complaints and determine
if signage is needed. The access road is either WSDOT or Sound Transit, so we will have to work with
them. Committee would like Ms. Jerwa to be informed when the item will return to Transportation
Committee.
• Speed bumps: Chair Robertson brought up the issue of speed bumps and would like this subject
brought back to Committee in one to two months. The Committee would like to determine the City's
official position on speed bumps and if we could use them near schools and narrow roadways to
slow traffic. In the past, fire truck access was an issue with the installation of speed bumps.
Committee would also like to determine if there could be a speed bump pilot program.
