Legislation Title: AN ORDINANCE relating to the SR 99 Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Replacement Program; stating the City’s policy with respect to an alternative for replacing the present Viaduct and Seawall, and related work; and authorizing execution of a Memorandum of Agreement between the State of Washington and the City of Seattle.

 

Summary and background of the Legislation:

The proposed Council Bill authorizes execution of an agreement between the State of Washington and the City of Seattle setting forth the responsibilities of each entity and expectations concerning the role of each in the implementation and funding of the numerous elements of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Replacement (AWVSR) Program.  As outlined in the January 13, 2009 Letter of Understanding signed by the Seattle Mayor, Washington Governor and King County Executive, the AWVSR Program consists of a deep bored tunnel to replace SR 99 in the Central Waterfront; the Moving Forward projects; a new surface Alaskan Way and waterfront open space; and other improvements to city streets and transit.  The City has committed to fund $930 million for the AWVSR Program.

Notes:

 

·         Do positions sunset in the future(If yes, identify sunset date):

No new positions are identified.

 

·         What is the financial cost of not implementing the legislation: (Estimate the costs to the City of not implementing the legislation, including estimated costs to maintain or expand an existing facility or the cost avoidance due to replacement of an existing facility, potential conflicts with regulatory requirements, or other potential costs if the legislation is not implemented):

 

The Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall are at risk of sudden and catastrophic failure.

 

·         Does this legislation affect any departments besides the originating department?  • If so, please list the affected department(s), the nature of the impact (financial, operational, etc)., and indicate which staff members in the other department(s) are aware of this Bill.

 

Affected City Departments include City Light, Seattle Public Utilities, Planning and Development, the Office of Policy and Management, and the Seattle Department of Transportation.  Parks and Recreation is involved in a coordinating role.

 

·         What are the possible alternatives to the legislation that could achieve the same or similar objectives  (Include any potential alternatives to the proposed legislation, including using an existing facility to fulfill the uses envisioned by the proposed project, adding components to or subtracting components from the total proposed project, contracting with an outside organization to provide the services the proposed project would fill, or other alternatives):

 

Alternatives to the proposed legislation have been evaluated since 2001.  In January 2009, the King County Executive, Seattle Mayor, and Washington Governor recommended the deep bored tunnel as the only solution that meets the region’s safety, environmental, economic, urban design and mobility goals. Shortly thereafter, the Washington State Legislature passed Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5768 and the Governor signed the bill into law, designating and funding the Bored Tunnel Program as the replacement for the Alaskan Way Viaduct.

 

·         Is the legislation subject to public hearing requirements:  (If yes, what public hearings have been held to date, and/or what plans are in place to hold a public hearing(s) in the future?)

 

No
