Although the formal public comment period closed on November 6, 2025, I want to let you know that your comments have been added to the official project record and will remain part of the file as the project moves forward. You raised concerns regarding site access, turning movements at NE 43rd Place and Jones Avenue, traffic impacts near NE 44th, and emergency vehicle access. As part of the land use review process, the City’s Transportation Engineering staff is reviewing the proposed access configuration and traffic impacts to ensure compliance with City standards and to evaluate safety considerations. In addition, the Renton Regional Fire Authority will review the proposal to ensure that adequate emergency vehicle access, turnaround space, and fire protection requirements are met. These agencies have authority to require modifications if access or safety standards are not satisfied. The project is currently on hold while additional information is being addressed by the applicant. I have added you as a Party of Record for the project. As such, you will receive copies of any formal decisions and official correspondence between the City and the applicant moving forward. Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns. If you have any questions about the review process, please feel free to reach out.

Residential and religious center on Jones Ave without providing any place for emergency vehicles, fire trucks, to turn around. Jones ave is a dead end street with mostly soft or muddy shoulders. 5 story building would require ladder fire truck which would have to back out.
