Clark Springs Watershed just east of Maple Valley. This is a water utility

two-lane bridge, restoring Rock Creek's streambed allowing fish passage to

2. Federal Way Link Extension Station Naming Resolution - Adopt
Deputy Public Works Director - Engineering, Kelly Peterson noted the City
has worked with Sound Transit on the development of the Federal Way Link
Extension light rail system for over 10 years, which is scheduled to open for
revenue service in late 2024. The project includes two stations within the
City of Kent: one adjacent to 30t" Avenue South, just south of Kent Des
Moines Road; and the second located on the former Star Lake Park and Ride.
Sound Transit updated its station naming policy in the fall of 2021 due to
confusion with the University Street Station in downtown Seattle vs. the
University of Washington. Sound Transit's station naming policy prioritizes
station names in the following order: 1) city; 2) neighborhood; 3) landmark;
and 4) street or a combination of a city or neighborhood.
The names "Kent Des Moines Station" and "Star Lake Station" meet Sound
Transit's naming criteria and provide the best context with regard to
geographic location to users of the regional light rail system.
The Sound Transit System Expansion Committee is scheduled to make a
recommendation to Sound Transit's full board for a final decision in May.
MOTION: I move to adopt Resolution No. 2043, recommending the
Sound Transit Board name the light rail station adjacent to 301"
Avenue South ""Kent Des Moines Station" and the station adjacent to
South 272"d Street ""Star Lake Station."

3. INFO ONLY: Residential Traffic Calming
Traffic Engineer III, Honey Maria stated the new Residential Traffic Calming
Program ("RTCP") was adopted June 2020, with a minor revision adopted in
April 2022, to better address neighborhood livability concerns. The program
continues to be popular among residents. We received a total of 33 traffic
calming requests in 2021 and five requests so far in 2022, indicating the
program is in demand. Staff will give an update on status of the RTCP and
the number of requests in each phase of the process.
The last RTCP update to Council was September 20, 2021. Since then, there
have been nine new RTCP requests made by residents. Staff have scheduled
and evaluated several traffic studies. Staff have also conducted nine
neighborhood meetings for the requests that meet the RTCP qualifications;
developed five conceptual traffic calming plans; and completed the voting
process for one neighborhood with plans for four more neighborhood votes
underway.
6. Adjournment 4:28 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:28 pm.
