Dear Mr Close -
I'm sorry I did not send a note before the deadline, I had marked on my calendar that it must be sent by
today. So just in case you are still reviewing comments --
I live about 1/2 block from the construction site. I am very happy to see this building site sell to a school, both
to see more new construction here in Renton as well as to see the property be used for education..
The only concern that I do have (and share with my neighbors) is the traffic increase we can expect on 2nd St. I
did send a request to the traffic division about 2 years ago requesting that a speed bump be added to our 1 block
long street but was informed at the time that the city of Renton does not allow speed bumps. Drivers use this
road as a 'short cut' to Bronson,as they are allowed to turn left onto Bronson from Garden, but not from
Park. Many of these cars drive at a much higher speed than a 1 block residential street should be driven - and so
I will attend the public hearing on November 19th to ask again for a speed bump or some sort of traffic
consideration.
Once again, it is a great thing to see this building site go for a higher use.
Thank you
Jennifer Watts
