He noted that this issue is being brought before the Council because there is no administrative process for changing street names. Mr. Long stated that SECO Development requested the change for the following reasons: • Wayfinding in this area is confusing due to the current street naming conventions. • Changing the street names will reduce confusion as this area continues to grow. • Their project and others working and living in the area will benefit from consistent street names and signage. Continuing, Mr. Long reported that there are no parcels along the affected corridor that are currently addressed from these streets,and therefore,there will be no expenses or disruptions to adjacent property owners. He also reported that the request to change the street names was reviewed by City departments and the Renton Regional Fire Authority and no opposition was expressed.Additionally, Mr. Long reported that SECO Development has agreed to bear the costs of all sign design,fabrication,and installation of the signs required to implement the street name changes. Mr. Long displayed a map indicating where and which portions of the roads would be affected by the name changes. He then indicated that staff recommends approving the request to change the name of a portion of N Park Dr.to N Southport Dr. and a portion of NE Park Dr.to NE Sunset Blvd. Public comment was invited: • Rocale Timmons,SECO Development,spoke in support of the proposed street name changes. Responding to Council inquiries, Mr. Long reiterated that SECO Development would bear the costs of designing,fabricating,and installing the new street signs, including those requiring approval by the Washington State Department of Transportation.
