Seattle votes on tunnel agreement

摘要

On August 16 Seattle will vote on part of an ordinance regarding agreements with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for the Alaskan Way Viaduct tunnel. Passed by the City Council in February, the agreements concern schedules, design and utility work. If voters approve the ordinance, the council is authorized to give notice to proceed beyond preliminary design work. If rejected the council will need to pass a new ordinance before proceeding with the WSDOT agreements.
