Youth and Law Week will be proclaimed by Tukwila's Mayor Ed Bauch during the
period of April 11-15, and a corresponding program will begin at the Tukwila Elementary
School presented by the Tukwila Police Department. The program will combine various
police functions and personal safety to help students understand the police role in the
community.
The week will begin with an assembly on Monday with a visual presentation
introducing the Police Department to the children. On Tuesday, local police agencies will
display vehicles and equipment. Representatives from these agencies will be on hand to
answer any questions the students might have. Wednesday will be set aside for a
personal safety assembly, and Thursday will feature bicycle safety with a bicycle rodeo
after school. During the week, students will be encouraged to submit a poster depicting
some form of safety. On Friday, the week will be summarized and there will be awards
for the posters judged by grade, which relate most closely to the overall theme of Youth
and Law Week.
This program will also be offered to the other schools in the Southeentral School
District.

The knoll just south of the Tukwila
Elementary School playground is being
considered by the City of Tukwila as a
site for a neighborhood park. The 2.3-acre
site rises about 80 feet above the
surrounding area and provides a panor-

Mt. Rainier. It is hoped that the State will
participate in the funding of the project.

4-H Group Active in Tukwila
The Rhinestone Cowboys, a Tukwila
b-i 4-11 club, is looking for new
I �ers. The club is comprised of horse
o%v.i4rs who have joined together to learn
more about the care and raising of horses.
Planned summer activities include the
staging of a horse show and participation
in fairs and parades. For more informa-
tion, call Judy at 242-5487.
During this year, the Public Works
Department will have projects going
throughout the city. The biggest and
most visible at this point in time are the
utility undergrounding projects in the
residential area. As many of you have
probably noticed, the attractive, new
green terrazzo poles and colonial -type
street lights have been installed and are
in operation. We hope that each one of
you is happy with this portion of the new
improvements that will be provided to all
residents. We hope that within the next
few months you will be having a clear
view of the sky when the power poles and
the overhead wires will be removed. This
summer we will begin construction of
three streets within the city toward new
and better residential streets. These
three streets will be (1) 149th Street in
front of Tukwila Elementary School and
(2) 59th Ave. So. from the School to the
present City Hall site. Section (3) is 58th
Ave. So. from 147th Street south to the
cul-de-sac near the Tukwila Elementary
School playfield.
I wish to thank each of you who came to
the public meeting where several ideas
were presented and your thoughts were
requested in reference to what you want
your streets to look like. Of the question-
naires filled out, the greater majority
indicated that they would like a street
approximately 62nd Avenue South. We
will be adding sidewalks, widening the
street and undergrounding utilities in
that area with the hope that traffic flow
will be much better than it is now and
also that the pedestrians will be able to
walk on an improved sidewalk, not in the
ditches and on the shoulders taking their
lives into their own hands.
If you ever have any questions in
relation to what will be happening in your
area as to any projects, I hope you will
contact us and we will do our best to
answer your questions. Although some-
times the answers may not be exactly as
one would hope them to be, we will try
our best to meet your needs.

The City is planning to follow up the undergrounding of utilities with improvements to
the streets themselves.
To help decide what types of streets should be constructed a public meeting was held
on February 22, 1977. There were 39 questionnaires returned which are being used as a
general guide for specific design drawings. The questionnaire indicates a desire for
streets which have sidewalks, planter strips, and limited on street parking.
