at the school.
3. Surveys will be sent out to the citizens north of Haynes Wharf Park asking about possible "No

4. 51h and Pine, Bertrand is going to check about getting an ordinance to add a load/unload zone
and then maybe having the City sign and paint to City's standards.
5. A citizen asked about getting a disabled parking space in the vicinity of 224 3rd Ave. S. The
citizen did not come to the meeting and the committee had some questions about "need" and
ADA specs. This item was tabled.
6. Parking along Railroad St. is still in consideration for additional parking for the Sounder.
Bertrand mentioned that Community Transit only needs 40 feet (allowing 2 or 3 parking spots to
open up). He is also looking at one or two "drop off" area(s). He will report back at the next
meeting.
The committee is going to be changing meeting days, looking at Mondays in the future. Our next
meeting is on October 29th 2012.
Adrienne mentioned that she would talk to Jim Underhill if he may be interested in joining the Parking
Committee.
Two items came up under new business_
First it was asked by Kristiana that a survey be sent out to the citizens along Park Road about changing
the parking to 'No Parking" on Park Road. There are concerns that when cars park on the street that
there may not be enough width for emergency vehicles to get through. Survey is to be sent out with
results at the next meeting.
Second, it was asked for a new agenda item for the next meeting on the subject of time restrictions for
handicap/disabled parking spaces.
Meeting adjourned at 4:50 PM.
