Survey Team on 41st Ave NE and 44th Ave NE – Friday, August 17th

On Friday, August 17, 2012, a survey team will be gathering data on 44th Avenue NE north of Brookside Boulevard NE and on 41st Avenue NE between NE 165th and SR 522 in Lake Forest Park. 

In June, City Council authorized City staff to sign an agreement with Otak, Inc. to explore the feasibility of making right of way improvements facilitating commuter parking. The survey work on August 17th will allow Otak, Inc. to gather survey data and create scale base maps. These will be used to access the possible size, number and orientation of parking spaces and cost estimates at the two locations.

Otak will summarize their findings in a draft preliminary engineering report which the City staff will review at the Council work session on September 24, 2012. After the September 24, 2012 work session, City Council will decide what the next steps will be in deciding whether existing rights of way could be used for commuter parking.
