Legislation Title:

A RESOLUTION on next steps in the Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement project.

· Summary of the Legislation:

This Resolution does not place a ballot measure on the March 13, 2007 Special Election calendar. Instead, it requests the project partners (State and City) to immediately start construction on the section of the project south of King Street, where there is agreement on the design, engineering, and funding. It also requests the project partners to proceed with the mitigations and transportation measures that will have to be implemented no matter what design is chosen for the Central Waterfront. It further requests that the project partners take steps as necessary to operate and maintain the Central Waterfront section of the Alaskan Way Viaduct to ensure safety. Lastly, the Resolution requests that a mediated summit of stakeholders be convened to seek consensus on a design solution for the Central Waterfront section of the viaduct.

· Background: (Include brief description of the purpose and context of legislation and include record of previous legislation and funding history, if applicable):

The Resolution is in response to a request by the Governor to put the question of which alternative to replace the Viaduct to the Seattle Voters. The Governor requested Seattle place this question before the voters prior to the end of the 2007 Legislative session, scheduled to end April 22, 2007.
