December 22, 1969 PiAAJ Honorable Avery Garrett, Mayor l Members of the City Council Report of the Street and Alley Committee Gentlemen: 1. Request to change street name from Harrington to Holly it It is the recommendation of the Street and Alley Committee that the City Council deny the request to change the name of Harrington Avenue to Holly Avenue for the following reasons: (1) Additional expense to City and property owners. (2) Additional confusion to general public and emergency units in locating an address. (3) Petitions from some residents adjacent to the street opposing any change. 2. Use of Cedar River Pipeline Right of Way for Access to Philip Arnold Park The Street and Alley Committee has commenced an investigation of this request and the following information is presented as a progress report: (1) In discussion with the Seattle Water Department it appears that the City of Renton could obtain permission to use /J said right-of-way for street purposes. (2) Some of the apparant possible problems that would result from such a use include: (a) Increased dumping of garbage along right-of-way and question of City's liability of same. I Page 2 (b) Increased traffic on limited access serving Renton Hill. (c) Cost of maintaining right-of-way to prevent dust and rough roadway problems. 3. To minimize the problems listed, the Committee is exploring the possibility of restricting the use to coincide with park activity. A Committee recommendation will be made upon completion of its investigation. 11.°r ete-t Street and Alley Committee CITY OF RENTON KING COUNTY, WASH. ARTHUR L. HAUGAN, ATTORNEY JOE R.
