Public hearing May 26 regarding parking and traffic
Western Washington University is proposing amendments to its Washington Administrative Code rules related to parking and traffic and will hold a public hearing on May 26, 2010, at 11 a.m. Proposed rule amendments to Chapter 516-12 WAC, Parking and Traffic Regulations, have been filed with the Code Reviser’s Office and published in the Washington State Register.
Western has undergone a comprehensive review of its transportation rules, having recently amended bicycle and skateboard regulations. The proposed amendments to the parking and traffic regulations are associated with this review. Amendments include updates to definitions, a new section on administrative responsibility; broadens the purpose and application section to encourage sustainable transportation; incorporates the appeals chapter (Chapter 516-14 WAC) into the parking rules; and reduces the number of members on the appeals review board to better expedite the appeal process. To view proposed amendments, please see http://apps.leg.wa.gov/documents/laws/wsr/2010/09/10-09-076.htm
