RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to Finance Committee
DEPARTMENT: Public Works/ Transportation Operations
STAFF CONTACT: Flora Lee/ Principal Engineer
EXT.: 7303
The estimated fiscal impact for implementing the recommended pedestrian safety measures near Sartori
Elementary School is $245,500. This project will be charged to CIP Traffic Safety Program (317.122115)
which will need additional funding to cover the cost of these improvements.
Funding for this project will come from the unencumbered balance in the Transportation Benefit District
Account as part of the 2026 Q1 Budget Adjustment to address pedestrian safety.
The City was requested by the North Renton Neighborhood to review pedestrian safety near Sartori
Elementary School on Park Ave. N, N 4th St., and N 3rd St. Upon completion of this review, staff has a set of
recommended improvements to the signals and intersections that will enhance the safety and functionality
of the intersections around Sartori Elementary School.
This budget will replace existing aging traffic signal equipment including Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS)
systems, traffic signal cabinets, signal controllers, and add new traffic signal phases, illuminated LED
traffic signs, and traffic cameras with communication feeds to the Traffic Management Center (TMC) at
Renton City Hall. As shown in Exhibit A, traffic signal improvements for pedestrian safety are proposed at:
Park Ave. N & N 4th St., Park Ave. N & N 3rd St., Garden Ave. N & N 4th St., and Garden Ave. N & N 3rd St.
This project will upgrade the existing pedestrian push buttons to APS that comply with Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG); add protected-only left-
turn phasing that operates separately from pedestrian intervals; install LED pedestrian traffic signs that
illuminate in coordination with the pedestrian Walk and Don’t Walk intervals; and install traffic cameras for
traffic safety performance monitoring and measures. The Public Works/Transportation Systems Division
will acquire the equipment and utilize our staff resources to install the improvements.
Authorize $245,500 from the unencumbered balance in the Transportation Benefit District Account to
capital account (317.122115) Traffic Safety Program as part of the 2026 Q1 Budget Adjustment for the
Sartori Traffic Safety Improvements project to address pedestrian safety.
