Just a friendly reminder the next Traffic & Safety Committee Meeting will be held Monday, October 05, from 7:00pm to 8:00pm at the Neighborhood House (Paul Allen Room), 4410 29th Avenue South.  Captain Emerick from South Precinct will be joining us at the meeting.  In addition, we will be discussing potential community education on new Metro Bus scheduling, ORCA and RPZ as well as update from the South Precinct.

Our street curbs are scheduled for painting this week, which should hopefully make it clearer where the No Parking Zones are around the Vista. These areas to be painted include around fire hydrants, post box units, Columbian Way medians, and the curve areas where roads turn. Areas that are already painted will be touched up.

Please be sure that you are not parking in any of these areas! Not only is it risky and illegal, this week you could also get yourself a bonus of curb paint on your car!

We had a visit from the Seattle Fire Department today in response to a fire that was burning in the greenbelt behind the lower side of Viewpoint Park (about where we cleared ivy a few years back).  The firefighters said it was about 10 feet by 10 feet and that they couldn’t tell what started it - no signs of matches or cigarette butts.  However, they did say that the fire was in a clear area that “had a nice log for sitting on” and that they would guess someone has been using that space as a smoking room.

Denise from SHA was present and mentioned that she would ask security to keep an eye on this area.  Having the rest of us on the look out as well probably wouldn’t hurt.
