Ryan Hill Neighborhood Study

LDC Inc. was hired by the City of Tukwila to perform a land use and infrastructure analysis for the Ryan Hill neighborhood, the first comprehensive study for the neighborhood since its annexation into the City in 1989. As part of the study, LDC Inc. worked beside City staff to develop three land use scenarios for the neighborhood by assessing existing infrastructure, existing land use patterns, topographic and environmental constraints, future infrastructure costs, and overall developability. The primary goal of the study was to identify key areas where reinvestment could occur and what the potential costs of extending infrastructure to identified areas might be. Public outreach through flyers, open houses, and surveys was conducted as part of this study to engage residents and property owners.
