Descrizione
I operate this business on the corner of 42nd/124th South. I have reported this issue in the past , and TPD did their jobs and basically sent traffic cops / motorcycle officers down here to enforce traffic laws.(I appreciate this.) However, it's a persistent issue and I am making this report due to the fact I had a deaf woman almost get struck in the parking lot because of someone cutting through , (this is common.) She went out of her way to communicate with me , and wrote down what had happened and basically wanted me to do something about it since this matter would require her going to the TPD resource center and using sign language or doing what she did earlier and merely writing out a report.
Traffic is ridiculous here regardless if they are cutting the parking lot or not, maybe 2/10 vehicles come to a full stop , the majority barely yield and coast right through. I know TPD is good at enforcing traffic but this is something they shouldn't have to baby sit , this is a three-way stop , it's time for the city to step up and simply install regular traffic signals and have them camera enforced. Whoever thought that simply installing a stop sign with LED lighting was very naive , all they did was waste money and changed nothing. Thanks in advance for reading this. I included an edited map , the colored lines represent speeding, and reckless driving / cutting the corner via the businesses parking lot.

I saw Tukwila PD doing traffic the day before yesterday , they even made an arrest literally on the side of my house.
1 day, where are they now? …
This street is a consistent issue all hours of the day.

To add to the public safety hazard , the individuals that live across the street from the Community Center Basketball court tend to park too close to that crosswalk, restricting the view drivers have of anyone trying to cross.
If the police were down here regularly.
I J walk most of the time to cross because of the fact the cross walk isn't safe with that truck parked too close to it , otherwise I am sure an officer would have tried ticketing me , and doing all the above if he saw me not using the crosswalk.
All I know is there is mostly NO community policing in this neighborhood, I have had 2 officers come in when I am working to ask me if I work here , that should speak for itself.

They need consistent traffic enforcement or normal traffic lights that are camera enforced.
Poor decisions being made by individuals like the geniuses that thought a blinking LED stop sign would make it any better than the stop light that is already there.
Like , it takes someone with years of college to understand that if they ignore the stop light , their going to ignore the LED stop sign.
I support Tukwila PD my family is mostly LEO.
I get it , they gotta interact with the worst examples of humanity , but you can't convince me that not having 1 officer strictly assigned to the neighborhood that the Tukwila Community Center is apart of , for traffic related offenses. I have lived across the street from the Community Center in the same home for 26 years, I've seen multiple chiefs retire. I really miss Chief Haynes. He had this area down here "Policed". I only see the police in this area when someone has to call them. Otherwise I know all the unmarked cars , and detectives that are down here doing their own thing. They aren't responsible for traffic obviously.

I'm getting pretty @#$%,and disappointed this issue is about to get swept under the rug again.
I'm 26 years old,I shouldn't care at all if I compare myself to other people my age group.
I'll post this again,and again and again and be a serious menace about it until I see traffic enforcement down here, on top of improvements and camera enforcement regarding the intersection.
