ISSUE
Raisbeck Aviation High School Class of 2016 and school principle Bruce Kelly have requested South 92nd Place be
renamed "Phoenix Drive ".
BACKGROUND
The Washington State Legislature has recognized Raisbeck Aviation High School as an Innovation School, a
Washington Achiever School, and a Lighthouse Model of science, technology, engineering and math excellence. One
critical element responsible for the selection of the Phoenix as the school mascot dates back to 2006. In the fall of that
year, two students were killed in a tragic, general- aviation accident. The loss devastated the community and the school
almost did not survive —it was only the second year of operation. The students, teachers, and parents, and industry
supporters came together and they slowly rose from the ashes.
The Phoenix played an important symbolic role to heal and strengthen the community. Choosing the street name,
Phoenix Drive, honors that process, as well as the two students and their families. Phoenix Drive reminds us that the
students from the inaugural classes rose to overcome a tremendous loss and lay the necessary groundwork to become
one of the premier high schools in Washington State.
DISCUSSION
The City of Tukwila supports and recognizes the contributions of Raisbeck Aviation High School college preparatory
aerospace program along with its partners, The Museum of Flight and the Boeing Company, and would like to grant the
school's request to rename South 92nd Place, a private roadway, to Phoenix Drive.
FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact will be minimal to the Public Works street department budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Typically this item would be a Transportation Committee agenda item and move forward to the Committee of the Whole.
Transportation Committee Chair Robertson has approved this item to appear on the Utilities Committee Agenda. With
deference to that process, Council is being asked to approve this Resolution to change the name of the private roadway
of South 92nd Place to Phoenix Drive and consider this item at the June 6, 2016 Regular Meeting. This special request is
due to the time constraints of May having a 5th Monday and the last day for Raisbeck Aviation High School seniors being
June 9, 2016.
