SHARON AVENUE-ACCESS STREET TO HIGH SCHOOL
\o&
|0
Members of the School Board:Mr.R.D.Bennion,Dr.Anson Hughes,Dr.Darrell
Larson,Mr.William Duncan,along with Superintendent of Schools,Mr.Alvie
Shaw,and School Attorney,Charles Schillberg,appeared before the Council
regarding extension of Sharon Avenue to provide additional access to high^
school.Mr.Bennion,School Board President,told the Councilmen he thought
School administrators felt safety of school children was as critical or perhaps
more so,in other areas of the city than in the area where the access road
is proposed.He stated the School District spends about $6,000 a year running
five bus routes inside the city limits that are not required by law,but is
carrying out this practice for the safety of students.He inquired regarding
Council's long-range plans to alleviate those problem areas.
Mayor Dietzen briefly reviewed normal city policy regarding street development,
emphasizing that streets are normally developed by property owners,through
Local Improvement District process,at no direct cost to the City Government.0
He reviewed gasoline tax allocations,the portion that must be used for arterial
street development along with city matching monies,and controls invoked upon
Arterial Street Fund expenditures by the Legislature.
Chester Waggener,City Manager,pointed to maps showing scattered development
of the city.That development has left areas in between with no streets or ,—~sidewalks,creating problems to both city and to schools.Bus routes are ]
required because of inadequate facilities,where they would probably not be
needed when an area is completely developed.He stated that many problems
are not going to be solved in the near future,beeause of the sparse develo-
ment.The ultimate answer must be development by Local Improvement Districts,
and the areas must be at least partially developed to support a ^ocal Improve
ment District.The City is currently negotiating with the State Highway Dept.
for development of West Broadway by four-lane paving,curbing and installation
of sidewalks.This would eliminate current hazard for those childred walking
from Peninsula area to the Midway School.
The City Engineering Department is investigating the possibility of improv
ing Nelson Road,adjacent to the Garden Heights Elementary School,through
a Local Improvement District:although that attempt was once voted down by
the adjoining property owners.
Councilman Law reminded the group of improvements made through the past year
through Local Improvement District construction.
Councilman Krueger stated that City Council appreciated being informed re
garding problems areas,and that joint discussion and participation of City
Council and School Board was necessary to resolve those problems.
Councilman Skaug,informed the School Board and administration that install
ation of sidewalks may be ordered by the City Council after a finding of
public necessity.
J.Garth Anderson,Public Works Director,again reviewed street construction I '
that has been accomplished through Local Improvement District procedures,
and stressed importance of protecting the Local Improvement District process.
Adequate funds are not otherwise available for street construction.
No decision was reached regarding city-school participation on this project:
the city is proceeding with efforts to acquire right-of-way.
ASSOCIATION OF WASHINGTON CITIES LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE
pp Councilman Law reported on conference attended by himself,councilman Skaug,
^and City Manager Waggener.Specific resolutions were adopted pertatniag to
urban-area govennment,street and highway studies by the Automotive Safety
Foundation,and regarding proposal for consolidation and revision of retire
ment systems.The Association of Washington Cities Executive Board also '
determined to request the 1963 Legislature to allocate $2%of all liquor
revenues to cities and towns.
