Info Only/Kentridge Area Parking - Update Committee members discussed whether staff should take down or leave the signs that King County put up, when Kentridge was part of Unincorporated King County. The old signs are not consistent; three different parking times listed in three different neighborhoods each with their own King County ordinance. After some discussion committee members requested that Rob Brown bring this item back to committee with a motion to remove and replace all the signs to make them consistent. Having consistency will make parking enforcement easier.
