Business Recovery
Business Health
Washington's economy continues to be fully open and all businesses and public spaces can
operate at full capacity. The State ended its indoor masking order on March 12 (some exceptions
apply). King County ended its business vaccine verification order on March 1 and its indoor
masking order on March 12.
COVID continues to spread but the rate of spread is much slower than the peak in early January.
In King County, the seven-day average daily numbers of new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths
are slightly below their levels in early December.

participating in the Port of Seattle's creation of a Trusted Community Partners Network that will
help navigate small businesses to resources like technical assistance and funding. The State plans

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Community Development
FROM: Nora Gierloff, DCD Director
BY: Max Baker, Development Supervisor
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: March 21, 2022
SUBJECT: LIHI Tiny House Villages Proposal
ISSUE
The Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) has applied for a King County ARPA grant to establish
and run two tiny house villages in Tukwila for a period of two years. Staff seeks direction
regarding these proposals.
BACKGROUND
The two sites that LIHI has proposed are:
• Miracle Temple of God site at 14925 Interurban Ave S. led by Pastor Jenkins proposes
28 tiny houses with the potential to house up to 33 residents. This site is zoned Regional
Commercial Mixed Use (RCM).
• Riverton United Methodist Church at 3118 S 140th Street led by Pastor Bolerjack that
currently hosts unhoused individuals and families living in tents. They propose 20 tiny
houses with the potential to serve up to 24 residents. This site is zoned Low Density
Residential (LDR).
DISCUSSION
Last year, in response to recently adopted state legislation, Tukwila revised its zoning code per
Ordinance 2658 to allow emergency housing and shelters in zones RC and higher subject to
siting and operational criteria, see TMC 18.50. TMC 18.50.260 also allows transitional
supportive housing in all residential zones, subject to a maximum of 15 residents in Low Density
Residential (LDR). However, the state legislation, and the revised TMC legislation, anticipated
that the housing and shelters would occur within permanent structures.
RCW 36.70A.030
(9) "Emergency housing" means temporary indoor accommodations for individuals
or families who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless that is intended to
address the basic health, food, clothing, and personal hygiene needs of individuals or
families. Emergency housing may or may not require occupants to enter into a lease or an
occupancy agreement.
(10) "Emergency shelter" means a facility that provides a temporary shelter for
individuals or families who are currently homeless. Emergency shelter may not require
occupants to enter into a lease or an occupancy agreement. Emergency shelter facilities
may include day and warming centers that do not provide overnight accommodations.
TMC Chapter 18.06, "Definitions"
11
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
Transitional Housing
"Transitional housing" means a facility that provides housing, case management, and
supportive services to homeless persons or families and that has as its purpose
facilitating the movement of homeless persons and families into independent living.
Since 2015 Tiny House Villages have been established within the cities of Seattle, Tacoma, and
Olympia and most recently in unincorporated King County (Skyway) with the goal of providing
support services, more secure shelter, and moving people into permanent housing. The
proposed tiny houses would be approximately 96 square feet in size. The other host
jurisdictions have looked at the houses as falling under the International Building Code permit
exemption for structures less than 120 square feet. Other development permits might be
required for site improvements or utility connections.
Tukwila has a long history of allowing temporary Tent City encampments at established church
sites without land use permitting requirements because they were considered accessory to the
mission of the institution. The City has conducted life safety inspections and participated in
neighborhood outreach for each new encampment.
Tiny house villages are not directly addressed within our codes, but the use could fall within the
City's discretion to allow pursuant to the following note in the land use Table 18-6:
Note: The Director of Community Development will make a determination for uses not
specifically listed in the Zoning Code. The Director will consider whether the proposed use
is:
a. Similar in nature to and compatible with other uses permitted out right within a similar
zone; and
b. Consistent with the stated purpose of the zone; and
c. Consistent with the policies of the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan.
Additionally, the Council could direct staff to review sample codes and propose tiny house
specific regulations that Council could adopt into the TMC Zoning Code. Examples to consider
are Seattle's transitional encampment regulations at SMC 23.42.056 and King County's codes
for temporary small house sites at KCC 21a.46. King County's tiny house regulations expire
May 25, 2022, one year after adoption. The code development, review, and adoption process
would take at least six to eight months.
RECOMMENDATION
If the Committee is supportive of LIHI's proposal, please forward it to the March 28th Committee
of the Whole for further discussion by the full Council. If the Council determines that LIHI has
addressed potential concerns about the operation of the tiny house villages they may proceed
with an approach similar to what the City has done with tent cities and not require land use
permitting when collocated with a religious institution.

BY: Adam Cox, P.E., Transportation Project Manager
DATE: March 18, 2022
SUBJECT: 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement Project -Type, Size, and Location Report
ISSUE
Update the Council and answer questions asked at the February 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole meeting regarding the Type,
Size, and Location (TS&L) report for the 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement project and seek Council direction. Staff recommends
the 42nd Ave S steel girder alternative due to community feedback.
BACKGROUND
At the October 26, 2020 Committee of the Whole meeting, Council members were presented with the option to move the 42nd
Ave S Bridge Replacement project forward with the selection of 30% Plans and Estimate (P&E) or the 100% ad -ready Plans,
Specifications, and Estimate (PS&E). Included in the 30% P&E was a description of the TS&L report and the two conceptual
alternatives for the replacement of the 42nd Ave S Bridge:
1. Replace the bridge in its current location; or
2. Replace the structure at S 124th St.
Both alternatives are eligible for funding as the new structure will remain in the same corridor. On November 02, 2020, Council
directed staff to move forward with the 30% P&E as part of TranTech's original contract and re-examine alternatives for 100%
PS&E once additional funding was secured.
The intent of starting the 30% P&E was to make the replacement project more competitive for the federally funded Local
Bridge Program's (formerly known as BRAC) call for projects that was announced in late 2020, with the due date for the
application in February 2021. The City Council adopted funding for the 42nd Ave S Bridge as its top state and federal
legislative priority. In June 2021, the City was awarded $1.5M in federal contingency funding from the Puget Sound Regional
Council (PSRC) to be applied toward the design phase, and in July 2021, the Local Bridge Program awarded $12M for the
design and construction phases of the 42nd Ave S Bridge Replacement Project. These funds will cover all design expenses
and move the project well into construction.
Staff conducted the initial consultant selection process for the project in accordance with the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) Local Agency Guideline (LAG) manual to ensure the selected consultant would be approved by
WSDOT and expenses would be eligible for federal grant reimbursement throughout the project. Given that federal protocol
was adhered to during the selection process, WSDOT Local Programs Department determined that TranTech is an approved
consultant to perform the design work without the need to readvertise or reinterview design consultants, a process that would
take a minimum of three months. The ability to move forward with 100% design through the existing contract with TranTech
provided the City with costs savings and prevented project delays. The supplemental agreement was issued to TranTech in
October 2021 to reach 100% ad ready PS&E enabling future construction bidding. The bid ready PS&E is still on schedule to
be completed by the third quarter of 2023.

Committee of the Whole Discussion on TS&L report
March 21, 2022
TISC Discussion on TS&L report
As part of the 30% P&E, TranTech was tasked with creating a TS&L report to give the City alternatives for replacement of the
42nd Ave S Bridge. The TS&L report is an industry design standard that allows the agency to receive multiple alternatives and
weighs all outcomes when a selecting a structure for replacement. During the TS&L process, TranTech and its subcontractors
have used their best engineering judgement to create an accurate report that lines up with the City's best interests when
replacing the structure. All four alternatives presented are using the same cross section configuration with 12 ft wide travel
lanes, a concrete pedestrian barrier, and a 10 ft wide ADA -approved pedestrian walkway. The differences between the
structures are: 1) the structure location; and 2) material used for girders. All four alternatives are eligible for federal funding
and grants as they are in the same corridor as the current structure. All alternatives provided below have inherent pros and
cons and the comparison matrix found in the draft TS&L report illustrates all the weighted variables and provides a
professional rating of each element.
Due to the complexity of each replacement option and the limited scope of work in preparation of the TS&L, each option has
had a construability review at a cursory level. This allows the design team to explore multiple avenues without wasting time
focusing on one option that would not be the preferred structure for this project. There are still multiple unknowns that will be
investigated during the design process. Once a replacement is selected, TranTech can then focus their efforts to creating a
safe, dependable structure that has a design life of 100+ years.
The following alternatives to be considered for the 42nd Ave S Bridge replacement are:
• Alternative 1: New 42nd Ave S Bridge with Steel Girders
Replace the structure in its current location with the main span consisting of steel girders.
• Alternative 2: New 42nd Ave S Bridge with Concrete Girders
Replace the structure in its current location with the main span consisting of concrete girders.
• Alternative 3: New S 124th Street Bridge with Steel Girders
New structure at S 124th St with the main span consisting of steel girders.
• Alternative 4: New S 124th StreetBridge with Concrete Girders
New structure at S 124th St with the main span consisting of concrete girders.
ANALYSIS
Council was presented the four alternatives for the 42nd Ave S Bridge replacement at the February 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole
meeting. At that meeting, Council had the opportunity to ask City staff and TranTech Engineering staff technical questions about the
proposed locations of the 42nd Ave S and S 124th St replacement locations.
City staff also presented the same presentation at the February 22, 2022 Allentown meeting and gave the opportunity to have
community members ask questions regarding the bridge locations. Also at the Allentown meeting, a 3D model was present to allow
attendees to observe the 42nd Ave S and S 124th St alignments from multiple firsthand angles. Many comments and questions were
Phone; 2406-433-1800 Email.: Maytr TukwilaWA.gcv • Website: TukwiIMMA.gov
52
expressed during the Allentown meeting. The attached table has multiple questions asked by council and community. Please see
photographs with the questions/comments written down and posted onto the available boards at the community meeting.
PROPOSED NEXT STEPS
Public Works staff will continue to share and answer comments/questions regarding the 42nd Ave S Replacement and gather
additional feedback at the monthly Allentown Community Meeting on March 22, 2022 and other community outreach
meetings. City staff currently has a video and survey available on the City's website for Tukwila residents, businesses, and
daily users to give their feedback on the bridge location selection. City staff will return to Council at the March 28, 2022
Committee of the Whole with the results of the City wide survey and comments from the Allentown meeting to seek Council's
direction regarding the selection of the replacement option.
Ad ready 100% plans, specifications, and estimate (PS&E) is still on schedule to be completed in the 3rd quarter of 2023 with
obligation of construction funds in 2024. City staff will update to the Council after the construction bid results are obtained.
Project completion is still estimated in late 2025.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Based on location preference, the final construction costs will vary. The difference between the 42nd Ave S steel girder alternative
and the 124th S St steel girder alternative is approximately $2,868,537 (approximately 12%). The Washington State Legislature
passed the $17 billion Move Ahead WA transportation package, which included $17 million for the replacement of the 42nd Avenue
Bridge. The City of Tukwila has also received funding from PSRC and the State Local Bridge program, totaling an additional
$13.5million. According to current engineering estimates, the City now has enough funds to complete the 42nd Avenue Bridge
replacement.
RECOMMENDATION
The attached TS&L triple bottom line matrix recommends the steel girder S 124th St as the preferred option. However, staff
recommends 42nd Ave S steel girder alternative due to community feedback. Staff seeks Council direction on the preferred
location of the 42nd Ave S/ 124th Street bridge replacement at the March 28, 2022 Committee of the Whole meeting.

Questions and Answers from the 2/14 COW (3 of 6)
• Why was the 42nd Ave S Bridge constructed in the current location and not at S 124th St.
• The 42nd Ave S Bridge was constructed in 1949, with no evidence on why that location was selected
• What is the traffic flow at 42nd Ave S and Interurban Ave and S 124th St and Interurban Ave?
According to the traffic flow analysis, the current level of service (LOS), taken prior to the strike, at the intersection of
42nd Ave S and S 124th St is a "B" and the LOS at 42nd Ave S and Interurban Ave S is a "C". If the bridge is
replaced at 42nd Ave S (its existing location), the 2040 traffic calculations state that the LOS at 42nd Ave S and
124th Ave S would remain a "B" and the 42nd Ave S and Interurban Ave S would increase to a "D". If the bridge is
replaced at 124th Ave S, the projected LOS at S 124th and Interurban Ave is a "B" with a signalized intersection, and
LOS at 42nd Ave S and 124th Ave S would remain a "B". In this calculation, "A" is a better LOS and "D" is a worse
LOS.
• What is community's the feedback?
• The Allentown community has indicated they prefer the 42nd Ave S alternative. City wide survey is available for
residence and users of the bridge to leave their feedback.
• Do not lose sight that the bridge replacement does not stop the truck reroute study.
• Correct, this is the 42nd Ave S Bridge replacement project that runs parallel with the Allentown Truck Reroute
project.

• Can truck traffic be limited once new bridge is constructed?
• The new structure will be constructed to the WSDOT Bridge Design Manual LRFD standards and without an
engineering study to illustrate the impacts to the infrastrucure from trucks, restrictions cannot be enforced.
• Can the City of Tukwila be involved with the selection process?
• Yes, residents can answer the survey posted on the City's website to provide feedback

Is a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) required?
• A TIA is not required for this project as the new bridge structure does not generate new
or additional traffic. TIA's are required for new developments (I.E. shopping centers,
housing developments...) as traffic patters will change. The proposed replacement of
the 42nd Ave S Bridge will see the same traffic.
• A traffic analysis was performed as part of the TS&L and studied the level of service
(LOS) at the affected intersections with today's traffic volume and traffic volumes in
2040.
• Please refer to page 129 of the TS&L for the traffic analysis.

DATE: March 18, 2022 (Updated March 23, 2022)
SUBJECT: Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program
Project No. 80010301
Allentown Neighborhood Transportation Study
ISSUE
Provide status update for the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program (NTCP) and an update on the
traffic calming study conducted by KPG Psomas (KPG) for the Allentown neighborhood.
BACKGROUND
Late in 2021, the Council provided $100,000 to the 2021 NTCP budget and reinstated the full
$400,000 to the 2022 budget by using ARPA funding made available to the City from the Federal
government. At the same time, staff presented the Top -10 Recommended NTCP Projects list.
Nearly all of the 2021 budget ($98,863.39) was expended by replenishing normal stock items used
in traffic calming, such as street signs and speed feedback signs. Staff also purchased Rectangular
Rapid Flashing Beacon units and additional rubber speed cushions for future installation. Staff
directed KPG to conduct a traffic calming study in Allentown (Project A on the Top -10 List) as part
of their on-call contract for traffic calming support. The S 144th Street/46th Avenue S ADA Ramps
project is being designed and will be constructed as part of the 2022 Annual Overlay Program.
For the Allentown neighborhood study, KPG was directed to prepare a Transportation Study to
evaluate existing conditions, vehicle volumes and speeds, signage, and five years of historical
crash data. The draft report (attached) discusses their finding to potentially improve safety, calm
traffic, and enhance pedestrian mobility. Preliminary cost estimates on the recommended
improvements are also included in the report.
DISCUSSION
Overall, staff has made progress on several of the Top 10 list for 2022. The Allentown Neighborhood
Speed and Safety Study findings are discussed below. The Tukwila Community Center (TCC)
Pedestrian Crossing Safety Improvements will install two Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons
(RRFBs) adjacent to the TCC this summer. The design is currently at the 50% level and will be
completed in the second quarter.
The City will also be receiving a new Complete Streets grant from the Transportation Improvement
Board in the second quarter of 2022, with a minimum award of $300,000 that is eligible to expend on
ADA and Pedestrian Safety Improvements. Staff will be recommending that once the grant amount

has been determined and awarded, the grant could be used to fund part or all of the Tukwila
Elementary Schools Safety Improvements, Impact Charter School Safety Improvements, Cascade
View Elementary School Safety Improvements, and Ryan Way Pedestrian Safety Improvements.
Beginning design and improving signage for these projects can begin in the second or third quarter
of this year, depending on staffing availability.
Allentown Neighborhood Speed and Safety Study
KPG staff will be attending the March 28, 2022 Committee of the Whole meeting to present findings
and recommendations of the attached Allentown Neighborhood Transportation Study. The report
studies existing conditions on several of the key streets in the neighborhood and makes some
recommendations for improvements that could be made to improve quality of life for residents, reduce
speeds and improve safety for all users. The primary focus of this study is on S 124th Street, 42nd
Avenue S, S 115th Street, and 50th Place S. This study is in addition to the other studies currently
underway in the area: the 42nd Avenue S Bridge Replacement, the Alternative Truck Access EIS, and
the reopening of the 42nd Avenue S Bridge.
The attached study recommends a variety of improvements on some of Allentown's key streets
including S 124th Street, 50th Place S and 42nd Avenue S. Speed cushions are not recommended for
use on the collector arterial streets (S 115th Street, 42nd Avenue S, S 124th Street, and 50th Place
S), but could be used in the future on the local streets.
Staff presented the Allentown Neighborhood Transportation Study at the Allentown Community
Meeting on March 22, 2022 and invited community members to learn more and provide feedback on
the study. Comments received are being summarized and will be presented at the March 28, 2022
Committee of the Whole.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Projects on the Staff Top -10 list, including all of the recommendations made in the attached study for
Allentown neighborhood traffic calming, are now anticipated to cost over $1.2 million. Some of these
costs can be borne by the existing $400k budget and the future Complete Streets grant award of
$300-500k (restricted to ADA and pedestrian safety improvements).
Planning level cost estimates for construction of the recommended Allentown improvements are
provided in the Allentown Neighborhood Transportation Study: Appendix B, but do not include costs
for engineering, permitting, or construction management. If all of the above work is desired to be done
in one calendar year, the department will require more staffing resources to execute the projects.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider the Allentown Neighborhood Traffic Calming Study and
consider this item at the March 28, 2022 Committee of the Whole meeting.

Memorandum
To: Public Works Department, City of Tukwila
From: KPG
Date: 3/14/2022
Re: Draft Allentown Neighborhood Transportation Study
The City has received several requests for traffic calming from citizens in the Allentown
Neighborhood. As part of the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program, the City hired KPG to
evaluate existing roadway and non -motorized facilities, adjacent land uses, vehicle speeds, vehicle
volumes, signage, and five years of historical crash data. Based on this analysis, KPG developed a
set of potential improvements to calm traffic, improve safety, and enhance pedestrian mobility.
The approximate boundaries of the Allentown Neighborhood are the Duwamish River to the south
and west, S 115th Street to the north, and 1-5 to the east. The primary land uses in the
Neighborhood are residential, Tukwila Community Center, BNSF Railway Intermodal facility.
Figure 1 shows a map of the Allentown Neighborhood study area.
Street Network
Due to Duwamish River, BNSF Railroad tracks, and 1-5 being located around the perimeter of the
Allentown Neighborhood, there are only three access points to the Neighborhood at S 115th
Street, 42nd Avenue S bridge over the Duwamish River, and 50th Place S that connects to S 129th
Street. S 129th Street provides one of the few crossings of the BNSF Railroad tracks and I-5 in the
area.
There are two street classification types in the Allentown Neighborhood: Collector Arterials and
Local Streets. The Collector Arterials are S 115th Street, 42nd Avenue S, S 124th Street, 50th Place
S, and S 129th Street. The Collector Arterials are intended to carry the majority of the traffic
through the Neighborhood. Local Streets are intended to provide circulation and access to
adjacent properties. Except for local access, trucks are restricted on S 115th Street and the
segment of 42nd Avenue S, north of S 124th Street.
Truck Traffic
The BNSF Railway Intermodal facility is located along the eastern boundary of the neighborhood
with its primary access on S 124th Street at 51st Place S. This facility generates a high volume of
truck traffic as containers are transferred between trains and trucks. There are other businesses in
the Neighborhood along 44th Place S and 51st Place S that generate truck traffic and trucks must
use Local Streets to access these businesses.

Related Projects in Allentown
Allentown Truck Reroute Project
This project is evaluating potential alternative routes to access the BNSF Railway Intermodal
facility. Alternatives include maintaining the existing access or relocating the facility access to the
north or south. An Environmental Impact Statement is currently being prepared to assess the
impacts of each alternative.
Replacement of 42nd Avenue S bridge over Duwamish River
The 42nd Avenue S bridge over the Duwamish River connects the Allentown Neighborhood with
Interurban Avenue S. The bridge is considered structurally deficient and the City will replace the
bridge either at its current location or relocate it to cross the Duwamish River at S 124th Street. In
December 2021, the bridge was damaged by an over -height truck load and was closed to all
modes of travel pending repairs.
Traffic Calming
Traffic calming uses physical improvements and other strategies to slow vehicle speeds and
improve safety through neighborhood areas. Traffic calming treatments include signs, pavement
markings, chicanes, roundabouts, center medians, speed humps or cushions, raised crosswalks,
on -street parking, and narrowing the roadway with striping, raised curb or curb bulbs. The
decision on whether to install traffic calming should consider the potential for diverting traffic to
parallel routes, emergency vehicle response times, type of vehicles using the roadway, travel delay
and neighborhood support.
For collector arterial streets such as S 115th Street, 42nd Avenue S, S 124th Street, and 50th Place
S, KPG does not recommend the installation of speed humps or cushions for the following reasons:
• Inappropriate for collector arterials which are intended to carry the majority of traffic in
the Neighborhood.
• Potential for vehicles to shift from arterials to parallel local streets.
• Negative impacts to emergency vehicle response times (including Tukwila Fire Station 53).
• Noise impacts to homes due to vehicles crossing cushions, braking and accelerating.
• Not compatible with truck operations that access existing businesses in the Neighborhood.
Analysis Findings and Potential Improvements
The transportation volume and speed data were collected in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19
pandemic when traffic volumes were potentially lower due to more people working from home
and fewer people traveling for social and recreational activities. The 42nd Avenue S bridge over
the Duwamish River was closed for repairs when part of the 2020 traffic data was collected on
42nd Avenue S, north of S 124th Street. KPG evaluated the most recent five years of historical
crash data (9/10/2016 - 9/9/2021). A summary of the crash data is provided in Appendix A.
The following sections describe the characteristics of individual streets in the Neighborhood and
potential improvements to calm traffic, improve safety, and enhance pedestrian mobility. The
potential implementation of these improvements will require additional input from the public and
stakeholders and will depend on available funding for design and construction. Cost estimates and
additional description of the potential improvements is included in Appendix B.

walkway with segments of extruded curb that provide a
buffer from the roadway between 42nd Avenue S and
49th Avenue S. An eastbound vehicle speed radar
feedback sign is located at 45th Avenue S. S 124th
Street experienced 8 crashes during the five-year study
period. In 2019, there was a fatal vehicle -pedestrian
crash at the S 124th Street/46th Avenue S intersection.
Potential Improvements:

PSOMAS
S 124th Street at 46th Avenue S (looking west)
• Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) system at 44th Avenue S (Community Center
driveway) — construct raised curb and sidewalk at the northeast corner of the 44th Avenue
S intersection to separate pedestrians and vehicles, narrow the pedestrian crossing
distance, and provide traffic calming.
• RRFB system at 46th Avenue S — construct raised curb and sidewalk at the northwest
corner of the 46th Avenue S intersection to separate pedestrians and vehicles, narrow the
pedestrian crossing distance, and provide traffic calming.
• North side pedestrian walkway between 49th Avenue S and 51st Place S — improve this
segment to provide a continuous pedestrian walkway along north side of S 124th Street.
• Remove eastbound right turn slip lane at the
50th Place S intersection — currently, eastbound
right turning vehicles are not required to stop at
the intersection. Reconfigure the intersection
with a single -lane eastbound approach and
maintain all -way stop control. Evaluate truck
turning movements and pedestrian facilities.
Requiring eastbound right turn vehicles to stop
will calm traffic and improve safety.

Notes: 1Data collected 1/13/2022-1/22/2022 when 42nd Avenue S bridge over Duwamish River was closed.
2 Data collected August 2021.
42nd Avenue S runs along the east bank of the
Duwamish River with residential homes along the
east side of the street. There is a pedestrian bridge
crossing of the river at S 119th Street and the
Duwamish Park is located at approximately S 117th
Street. A continuous sidewalk runs along the east
side of the street between S 115th Street and
Interurban Avenue S, except for a missing segment
at the southeast corner of the S 124th Street/42nd

50th Place S connects between S 124th Street and S
129th Street. S 129th Street crosses the BNSF tracks
and 1-5, and is the southeast entrance to the Allentown
Neighborhood. 50th Place S serves residential
properties and Codiga Park along the Duwamish River.
There is a segment of sidewalk on the west side of the
street along the Park's frontage. The eastside of the
street has a striped paved shoulder that has a few
segments of extruded curb that provide separation
from vehicles.
Potential Improvements
50th Place S, looking south
• Northbound vehicle radar feedback sign — add a feedback sign at Railroad Avenue, where
50th Place S enters the Allentown Neighborhood.
• Pedestrian walkway — construct continuous pedestrian facility on either the west or east
side of the street.
Local Streets
Within the Allentown Neighborhood, the local streets are low-volume streets that provide access
to homes and businesses. These local streets typically do not include formal pedestrian facilities
and on -street parking is typically allowed.
Potential Improvements
• Additional speed limit signs at select locations.
• Reduce default speed limit from 25 mph to 20 mph for local streets — this could be part of a
proposed Citywide speed limit reduction effort.

Potential Improvements
• Speed limit reduction — reduce speed limits to 20 mph on local streets.
S 125th Street
S 125th Street is a local street along Duwamish River that connects between 46th Avenue S and
50th Place S. Residents along the street have expressed concerns regarding speeding and cut -
through traffic. There have been 3 crashes at the S 125th Street/50th Place S intersection over the
last 5 years. This intersection is just south of the S 124th Street/50th Place S intersection, which
has an eastbound right turn slip lane that does not require vehicles to stop.
Potential Improvements
• The removal of the eastbound right turn slip lane at the S 124th Street/50th Place S
intersection — this project (described above as a potential improvement for S 124th Street)
would benefit the S 125th Street/50th Place S intersection by requiring eastbound right
turning vehicles to stop at the S 124th Street/50th Place S intersection. This would slow
southbound traffic and potentially create additional gaps in traffic approaching the S 125th
Street/50th Place S intersection, improving traffic operations and safety.
• Either partially or fully close S 125th Street at 50th Place S — work with the residents along
S 125th Street to get their input on either a full closure or a restriction of left turns with
c -curbing. The potential improvement at the S 124th Street/50th Place S intersection that
will remove the eastbound right turn slip lane may lessen the need for a partial or full
closure of S 125th Street.
• Speed cushions — work with residents to get their input on the addition of speed cushions
to reduce speeds. Speed cushions could be an appropriate treatment along this street
because there is not a parallel local street that could be impacted by diverting traffic.

zone, which Tukwila has provided along with signs marking school crossings on S 148th Street. ADA -compliant ramps have not
been installed at the marked school crossings. The charter school has expanded their site to the north with a need for
consideration of a school zone on S 146th Street and other potential improvements for children's safety. Additionally, the
Council has asked for proactively addressing or anticipating concerns, specifically around school zones.

Avenue S Pedestrian Safety
Improvements
Staff identified the need for improvement pedestrian safety at this location several years ago. Southcenter Boulevard is a 5 -lane
roadway with known speeding issues along with curves that restrict sight distance. A high pedestrian usage at this intersection
accessing the King County Metro bus stop that services both the Rapid Ride F -Line and Route 150, both workhorses of the south
County transit network, justifies improving pedestrian crossing safety. This intersection is slated for full signalization in the
future, but interim pedestrian safety improvements should be considered sooner.

H City-wide Residential Speed Limit
Review
As part of the City Council's expressed desire to proactively look at traffic calming needs, a full review of the residential street
posted speed limits is recommended by staff. State law establishes city speed limits at 25MPH unless an engineering study is
completed to justify higher speed limits. Most residential streets are posted at 25MPH today, but there are many that are
posted at 30MPH or 35MPH. Likely, those speed limits are legacies of past annexation areas, where a speed study was
completed by King County. The general impression Staff has is that most residents and elected officials would be happier with
lower speed limits. City of Seattle has also recently lowered all speed limits nearly city-wide to be 25MPH.
Not started yet.
$5,000-8,000
TBD
$5,000-8,000

family developments. The speed concerns, especially along S Ryan Way, coupled with the new housing developments increasing
the likelihood of increased pedestrian activity, warrants this analysis be recommended as a top priority.

J S 144th Street/46th Avenue S
ADA Ramps
The Tukwila School District requested school crossing safety improvements at this intersection in 2017. A new Rectangular
Rapid Flashing Beacon was installed in early 2019. At the time the RRFB was installed, the City was also submitting a grant
application for the 46th Avenue S Safe Routes to School project, which would improve pedestrian safety between this
intersection south to S 150th Street, and would include either a raised pedestrian crosswalk at the RRFB or install ADA-
compliant curb ramps. The grant was not awarded. State law requires ADA ramps be brought up to current standards anytime a
new signal, including the RRFB, is installed. Since grant monies for the larger improvement are not expected in the short term,
staff recommends this as a priority to comply with all state and federal laws regarding Americans with Disabilities Act

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance & Governance Committee
FROM: Joel Bush, Chief Technology Officer and Hari Ponnekanti, PW Director
BY: Tami Eberle -Harris, TIS Project Analyst
DATE: March 28, 2022
SUBJECT: GIS Technician, 1 year position
ISSUE
Requesting temporary 1 -year GIS Technician to support completion of the As -built project and provide GIS
assistance.
"As -built" refers to a drawing the designer, engineer or contractor of a construction project will create after
successfully completing the project, that shows how the structure was built.
BACKGROUND
In 2021, Public Works approved funding from its existing departmental budget for a temporary 7 -month
position to begin the As -built project. The As -built project is a multi -phased project focused on bringing
more visibility to As-builts and assets around the city. It includes incorporating As-builts and supporting
documents into Laserfiche with pertinent meta data, and providing access to those documents via a map
viewer. Having this information available electronically on a map is useful for staff both in the office and in
the field, and reduces the time spent searching for files and understanding where the assets are
geographically located. It also gives staff the ability to compare what is currently in GIS to what information
is contained in the As -built, essentially providing a QC tool for existing data. The tool is currently available
to staff, but in the future could be public facing and support public records requests.
Phase I: Incorporate currently available electronic As-builts into Laserfiche and GIS map viewer
• Review the existing log file, identify and confirm meta -data
• Provide the files to City Clerk's office for importing into Laserfiche
• Integrate with GIS by drawing a polygon around the area and linking to Laserfiche
Phase 2: Organize and Incorporate paper As-builts
• Organize existing paper As -built records, log meta -data
• Prepare document for digitization by outside vendor
• Incorporate into Laserfiche and GIS
Phase 3: Develop process and procedures to continue to incorporate new As-builts into the systems as
they are received
DISCUSSION
In collaboration with TIS and the City Clerk's office, the temporary staff member was able to successfully
complete approximately 70% of Phase I - integrating a large portion of the existing electronic as-builts into
Laserfiche and GIS.
Additional resources of a GIS technician for a 1 -year term is needed to continue on all phases of the As -
built project. This employee would be responsible for organizing electronic files and integrating the data
into existing systems, providing GIS collection and review of assets as needed, and collaborating on 107
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
the mapping, in order to improve the overall management of the City's assets. The employee would
report to TIS in order to work closely with the existing city-wide GIS efforts, with oversight by Public
Works.
FISCAL IMPACT
70% of the costs associated with this effort will be distributed between the 2 CIP projects funded by
enterprise utility (water and sewer GIS inventory Project numbers 81640104 and 80540202) as 70% of the
as-builts are in those divisions. The enterprise funds can absorb this cost within their existing budgets. The
remaining 30%, or approximately $30,000 , would be needed from the general fund. Public Works has
salary savings in 2022 that can cover the 2022 General Fund allocation. Staff will evaluate in the
2023/2024 budget process opportunities to extend this work if possible.
Staff estimates the fully loaded cost of this position, including wages and benefits, to be approximately
$100,000, with a wage at $30 per hour and benefits.
RECOMMENDATION
The Committee is being asked to consider creating a temporary 1 -year GIS Technician position to
complete the As -built project and provide GIS support for Public Works. If the Committee is in support,
staff asks that this item go to the March 28, 2022 Committee of the Whole and Special meeting. The
request to expedite is due to the fact that the allowable hours for the current person doing this work will
expire 4/4/22.

City of Tukwila
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Nate Robinson, Teen Program Specialist
Rachel Bianchi, Deputy City Administrator
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: March 22, 2022
SUBJECT: Teen and Senior Center: Follow Up from the March 14, 2022 Committee of the
Whole meeting
ISSUE
Staff was asked to provide additional information to the Council on the proposed Teen and
Senior Center project.
BACKGROUND
The City Council is being asked to choose a site for the proposed Teen and Senior Center, which
was a project initiated by the City Council during the 2021/2022 budget process. This
discussion began at the February 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole meeting, where the Project
Team shared the Predesign Report 2 — Siting Analysis and Mayor's site recommendation. At
that meeting, the Council asked a number of questions of staff that were answered at the
March 14, 2022 meeting. Please refer to those Council packets for more background and
information. More background about the project can be found in the Predesign Report
presented to the City Council on December 13, 2021.
DISCUSSION
At the March 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole Meeting, staff was asked to come back with
additional information, discussed below:
Tukwila School District Potential Partnership
Staff was asked to talk with representatives of the Tukwila School District on whether there are
partnership opportunities for a potential joint venture with the School District and/or whether
they have property that they would be amenable to use for the development of the Teen and
Senior Center. On Monday, March 21, 2022 staff spoke with Flip Herndon, Superintendent of
the Tukwila School District. Superintendent Herndon indicated that the District has no unused
properties with the exception of the properties the City currently leases from the School District
for park use.
Staff also discussed with Superintendent Herndon whether there are opportunities to further
use Foster High School for teen -related programming. He indicated that the buildings are used
by other outside groups on a regular basis, as well as afterschool school -related programming.
Superintendent Herndon reminded staff that the senior part of the proposed Teen and Senior
Center is not within the School District's core mission.

City of Tukwila Senior Needs Assessment
Staff was asked to share the 2019 Older Adults Recreational Services Needs Assessment. The
Legislative Analyst shared that report with the Council via email on Monday, March 14, 2022
and it can also be found at TukwilaWa.gov/wp-content/uploads/PR-OARS-March-2019.pdf.
Timing of Grants and Information on Funding Source for Schematic Design
At the March 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole, staff announced that the proposed Teen and
Senior Center have been awarded the following grants:
•King County Parks Levy feasibility grant —the project was allocated $100,000 from the
King County Parks Levy grant program, which can go toward schematic design. These
funds need to be used by December of 2023.
•Washington State Capital Budget allocation —thanks to Representative David Hackney, as
well as the rest of the 11th District Delegation, the proposed project received $258,000
from the Capital budget. These funds need to be expended by June 30, 2023.
As mentioned in previous staff reports, the next step in the proposed Teen and Senior Center is
to complete Schematic Design (SD), which equates to 30% design of the project and allows the
first milestone for a project budget estimate. The Project Team estimates SD to cost between
$1.1M and $1.6M. With the two grants identified above, the estimate for City funds to finalize
SD is between $742,000 and $1,242,000.
The City receives Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) on the sale of private property within the City.
REET is available to cities and other jurisdictions for capital expenses. While the City allocates
$500,000 a year of REET to the Public Safety Plan, additional REET funds have come in above
this number. The 301 fund, which is the Land Acquisition, Recreation and Parks Development
Fund, funded by REET, has a balance in excess of $900,000 that could be used for this project.
As REET is specifically to be used for capital projects, the Administration recommends that the
City use REET to fund SD for the proposed Teen and Senior Center, which can cover most if not
all of the cost of SD with the inclusion of the grants discussed above. If final SD is more than
the 301 fund can support, there is 2021 ending fund balance in the general fund available. The
Council will ultimately approve the final SD contract, including the final cost and funding source.
RECOMMENDATION
Information only. Staff is seeking the Council to choose a preferred site between the Bartell pad
and Star Nursery site so that the project can move forward to Schematic Design. Once SD is
complete, the City will have the building's 30% designed and an initial cost estimate that will
inform the next steps for this proposed project.
