D. South 140 Street Pedestrian Improvements
Staff is seeking Council direction on the design and funding for pedestrian safety
improvements on Tukwila International Boulevard near the Abu Bakr Islamic Center. The
City learned that it did not receive the grant award from the Transportation Improvement
Board. KPG developed conceptual designs for two potential locations, including the north
stst
side of the South 141 Street intersection and south of South 141 Street in the middle of
Beacon crosswalks at both locations to maximize pedestrian safety, as people try to cross
at both ends. The estimated cost is $350,000 if construction of both is simultaneous. Staff
met with leadership at the Islamic Center and they are supportive of this plan.
Councilmember Quinn stated that Council direction to fund a solution has been consistent
in the budget process and that there may be costs savings associated with reducing Police
traffic control. He also mentioned that it was the Council that surfaced the community
issues for the crosswalk, and that now that Administration is recommending two
crosswalks it is because of the Councils efforts. Chair McLeod asked about alternate
locations and staff and Mr. Davies explained how bus pullouts and traffic turn patterns
come into play. Public Works must balance the needs of pedestrians and vehicles.
Councilmember Idan asked about project timing. Staff indicated that if the Committee of
the Whole gives approval to include the project in the 2019 budget, the May timeline
estimate can still be met. Chair Quinn noted that this direction will be formalized in the
form of a budget amendment. FORWARD RECOMMENDATION FOR BUDGET
AMENDMENT TO NOVEMBER 26, 2018 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
