body
WHEREAS, the ten neighborhoods that comprise Seattle’s Center City will experience significant disruption to the transportation system between 2019 and 2021; and
WHEREAS, this disruption will be caused by the simultaneous construction of a number of large projects through the Center City, including the Alaska Way Viaduct Replacement Program, the Seattle Multimodal Terminal at Coleman Dock, the Washington State Convention Center Addition, the Sound Transit East Link and Northgate extensions, the Elliott Bay Seawall project, and the Center City Connector project; and
WHEREAS, the Seattle Department of Transportation, the Seattle Office of Planning and Community Development, King County Metro, Sound Transit, and the Downtown Seattle Association have come together to identify short-term and long-term transportation improvements, known as the One Center City program, to keep people and the economy moving even as major public and private construction projects reduce capacity on our roads and disrupt travel; and
