HUNDREDS OF SMALL BUSINESSES  

194
00:10:04,403 --> 00:10:08,808
PERIOD OF MAJJORDURING A 

195
00:10:08,808 --> 00:10:09,875
DISRUPTION, HUNDREDS OF

OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES IN SOUTH 

198
00:10:17,717 --> 00:10:21,821
SEATTLE AT THE TIME . WE HAVE A 

199
00:10:21,821 --> 00:10:23,255
NEW VARIATION OF THE SAME 

200
00:10:23,255 --> 00:10:24,290
UNDERLYING CHALLENGE. THERE IS 

201
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:28,594
AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE. MANY OF

202
00:10:28,594 --> 00:10:29,962
TODAY'S IMPACTED BUSINESS IS IS

203
00:10:29,962 --> 00:10:32,665
ANY MARITIME, INDUSTRIAL 

204
00:10:32,665 --> 00:10:36,168
CORRIDORS, FROM WEST SEATTLE TO 

205
00:10:36,168 --> 00:10:40,773
BALLARD, WORKING NEIGHBORHOODS 

206
00:10:40,773 --> 00:10:41,674
WITH GOODS, SUPPORT JOBS, THEY 

207
00:10:41,674 --> 00:10:42,842
KEEP OUR CITY AND OUR ECONOMY 

208
00:10:42,842 --> 00:10:44,176
HUMMING ALONG. SOME OF THE 

209
00:10:44,176 --> 00:10:48,447
IMPACTED AREAS ARE NEXT TO A 

210
00:10:48,447 --> 00:10:49,715
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT INDUSTRIAL 

211
00:10:49,715 --> 00:10:51,083
STEEL MILL WHERE STEEL 

212
00:10:51,083 --> 00:10:52,985
PRODUCTION ACTIVITY OCCURS, THAT

213
00:10:52,985 --> 00:10:55,388
POWERS THE BACKBONE OF 

214
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:57,323
CONSTRUCTION , NOT JUST IN OUR 

215
00:10:57,323 --> 00:11:00,559
REGION AND IN OUR STATE, BUT THE

216
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,830
ENTIRE COUNTRY. ALSO LOCATED IN 

217
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:13,973
A LIQUEFACTION ZONE . THIS IS 

218
00:11:13,973 --> 00:11:16,008
RICHARD McIVER , THE ARCHITECT 

219
00:11:16,008 --> 00:11:20,546
OF THE ORIGINAL RAINIER VALLEY 

220
00:11:20,546 --> 00:11:24,050
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND. THIS

221
00:11:24,050 --> 00:11:25,317
IS THE PERSON UPON HIS WORK 

222
00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:28,154
WHICH I SEEK TO HELP BUILD UPON 

223
00:11:28,154 --> 00:11:33,692
AS WE FACE A NEW ITERATION OF 

224
00:11:33,692 --> 00:11:34,593
THE SAME UNDERLYING CHALLENGES 

225
00:11:34,593 --> 00:11:35,494
IMPACTING SMALL BUSINESSES. 

226
00:11:35,494 --> 00:11:37,496
AGAIN, THIS TIME , WE'RE 

227
00:11:37,496 --> 00:11:41,400
TALKING ABOUT MARITIME AND 

228
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,637
INDUSTRIAL CORRIDORS. IT GOES 

229
00:11:44,637 --> 00:11:47,973
BEYOND SMALL STOREFRONTS, THE 

230
00:11:47,973 --> 00:11:49,075
LOCAL CHAPTER OF THE 

231
00:11:49,075 --> 00:11:50,543
INTERNATIONAL LONGSHORE AND 

232
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:54,380
WAREHOUSE UNION, LOCAL 52 IS 

233
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,615
ALSO LOCATED IN THE IMPACTED 

234
00:11:56,615 --> 00:11:59,719
NORTH DELRIDGE AREA . THIS IS 

235
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:06,025
ONE OF MANY EXAMPLES OF HOW THIS

236
00:12:06,025 --> 00:12:07,293
PROJECT TOUCHES OUR BROADER 

237
00:12:07,293 --> 00:12:07,860
MARITIME AND INDUSTRIAL 

238
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:09,161
ECOSYSTEM THAT UNDERPINS OUR 

239
00:12:09,161 --> 00:12:10,629
LOCAL ECONOMY . MANY OF THE 

240
00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:11,831
SHOPS AND SMALL BUSINESSES MAY 

241
00:12:11,831 --> 00:12:15,134
NOT SERVE DIRECTLY THE MARITIME 

242
00:12:15,134 --> 00:12:16,335
INDUSTRIAL INDUSTRY IN SO FAR AS

243
00:12:16,335 --> 00:12:20,473
THEY SUPPORT -- CLASSIC WORKER 

244
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:23,709
EXERCISES , THEY SERVE THEIR 

245
00:12:23,709 --> 00:12:25,911
WORKERS , PROVIDE GOODS AND 

246
00:12:25,911 --> 00:12:28,247
SERVICES TO MANY OF THEIR 

247
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:30,950
WORKERS, AND THESE ARE NOT JUST 

248
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:32,551
ISOLATED IMPACTS, THEY ARE 

249
00:12:32,551 --> 00:12:35,754
DEEPLY CONNECTED, A CALL FOR 

250
00:12:35,754 --> 00:12:36,856
SOLUTIONS THAT REFLECT THAT 

251
00:12:36,856 --> 00:12:39,125
REALITY . I ALSO WANT TO TAKE A 

252
00:12:39,125 --> 00:12:40,426
QUICK MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE 

253
00:12:40,426 --> 00:12:42,528
SOMETHING I KNOW IS ON SOME 

254
00:12:42,528 --> 00:12:47,199
PEOPLE'S MINDS, THERE ARE SOME 

255
00:12:47,199 --> 00:12:47,967
COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO RAISED 

256
00:12:47,967 --> 00:12:49,068
SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE COSTS

257
00:12:49,068 --> 00:12:52,438
OF THE PROJECT. SOME HAVE EVEN 

258
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:53,239
CALLED FOR IT TO BE STOPPED 

259
00:12:53,239 --> 00:12:54,440
ALTOGETHER. I HEAR THOSE 

260
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,543
CONCERNS . TOTALLY UNDERSTAND 

261
00:12:57,543 --> 00:12:59,578
WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM . 

262
00:12:59,578 --> 00:13:01,614
THESE ARE BIG NUMBERS . BIG 

263
00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:05,184
INVESTMENTS . HUGE DECISIONS . 

264
00:13:05,184 --> 00:13:06,952
AND PEOPLE DESERVE TO ASK HARD 

265
00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:10,923
QUESTIONS. THAT SAID, I DO NOT 

266
00:13:10,923 --> 00:13:12,925
AGREE THAT THE ANSWER IS TO 

267
00:13:12,925 --> 00:13:15,194
SIMPLY WALK AWAY FROM THIS 

268
00:13:15,194 --> 00:13:20,699
INVESTMENT. SOUND TRANSIT IS A 

269
00:13:20,699 --> 00:13:21,333
REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY 

270
00:13:21,333 --> 00:13:22,401
CREATED BY THE WASHINGTON STATE 

271
00:13:22,401 --> 00:13:24,570
LAW AND FUNDED BY THE GENEROSITY

272
00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:27,807

273
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:29,575
COUNTY, SNOHOMISH COUNTY , MAJOR

274
00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:32,144
EXPENSES LIKE THIS WERE APPROVED

275
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:33,812
BY REGIONAL KNOWLEDGE MEASURES 

276
00:13:33,812 --> 00:13:35,648
AND VOTERS . THE CITY OF SEATTLE

277
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:38,717
IS NOT THE OWNER OR ULTIMATE 

278
00:13:38,717 --> 00:13:41,787
DECISION-MAKER OF SOUND TRANSIT 

279
00:13:41,787 --> 00:13:45,958

281
00:13:47,193 --> 00:13:50,896
MATTER, MY ROLE AS A MEMBER OF 

282
00:13:50,896 --> 00:13:52,731
THE SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL DOES 

283
00:13:52,731 --> 00:13:54,533
NOT SIT ON THE SOUND TRANSIT 

284
00:13:54,533 --> 00:13:55,868
BOARD , IS TO ADVOCATE FOR 

285
00:13:55,868 --> 00:13:57,336
STRATEGIES THAT WILL ENSURE THAT

286
00:13:57,336 --> 00:13:59,939
PROJECTS ARE COMPLETED AND THE 

287
00:13:59,939 --> 00:14:02,174
MOST FAIR AND JUST WAY POSSIBLE.

288
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:04,043
WE CAN SUPPORT LIGHT RAIL 

289
00:14:04,043 --> 00:14:05,945

TIME. WE MUST DO BOTH. IT IS NOT

293
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:16,755
AN EITHER OR CHOICE . IT IS A 

294
00:14:16,755 --> 00:14:20,159

308
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:50,189
THE VALUES OF OUR CITY. MY GOAL 

309
00:14:50,189 --> 00:14:51,490
FOR TODAY IS SIMPLE, HAVE AN 

310

END OF THE DAY, THIS IS ABOUT 

315
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,003
MORE THAN A PROJECT TIMELINE OR 

316
00:15:04,003 --> 00:15:08,340
A CONSTRUCTION PLAN , IT IS 

317
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:10,409
ABOUT WHETHER THE SMALL 

318

A SENIOR CENTER ON BEACON HILL

602
00:27:35,220 --> 00:27:38,289

637
00:28:42,921 --> 00:28:47,258
LOW POLLUTION NEIGHBORHOODS, 

638

639
00:28:48,326 --> 00:28:49,694

THE EMPHASIS ON EQUITY. WHAT 

840
00:37:25,376 --> 00:37:26,344
THOSE COULD LOOK LIKE IN 

841
00:37:26,344 --> 00:37:27,211
PRACTICE COULD BE SAFETY, 

842
00:37:27,211 --> 00:37:28,112
MOBILITY ENHANCEMENTS, 

843
00:37:28,112 --> 00:37:30,248

846
00:37:38,122 --> 00:37:39,323
BECAUSE IT IS AN EVOLUTION OF 

847

REVIEWING EXISTING FEEDBACK TO 

864

MINIMIZE THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY 

865
00:38:15,426 --> 00:38:16,460

AREAS WITH A LOT OF MISSING 

880

PREVIOUS PUBLIC FEEDBACK FROM 

899
00:39:36,574 --> 00:39:38,275
THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS. A LOT OF 

900
00:39:38,275 --> 00:39:39,443
COMMENTS THAT CAME THROUGH 

901
00:39:39,443 --> 00:39:41,946

THIS YEAR AND INTO NEXT YEAR. 

908
00:39:56,694 --> 00:39:58,429
WHAT IS EXCITING IS THAT MANY OF

909
00:39:58,429 --> 00:40:00,698
THESE PROJECTS WILL ADD SAFETY 

910
00:40:00,698 --> 00:40:01,632

911
00:40:01,632 --> 00:40:04,201

912
00:40:04,201 --> 00:40:05,669
IT IS A NICE NETWORK DEVELOPING 

913
00:40:05,669 --> 00:40:09,807

WILL BE BUILDING THIS YEAR, 

916
00:40:12,877 --> 00:40:14,745
REALLY EXCITING , I WANTED TO 

917
00:40:14,745 --> 00:40:17,181
HIGHLIGHT THE PARTNERSHIP MODEL 

918
00:40:17,181 --> 00:40:18,616
WITH SIDEWALK PROGRAM AND OTHER 

919
00:40:18,616 --> 00:40:21,218

920
00:40:21,218 --> 00:40:22,920
PINEHURST NEIGHBORHOOD , ON OUR 

921
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,790

922
00:40:25,790 --> 00:40:27,091
LOT OF STUDENTS NEED BETTER 

923
00:40:27,091 --> 00:40:29,527
ACCESS TO FEASIBLE , THEY'RE 

924
00:40:29,527 --> 00:40:34,698
WALKING ALONG STREETS , OUR 

925
00:40:34,698 --> 00:40:35,800
SIDEWALK TEAM IDENTIFIED A NEW 

926
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,268
WALKWAY THAT COULD BE BUILT ON 

927
00:40:37,268 --> 00:40:39,970
115th, AND WE HEARD IT IS 

928
00:40:39,970 --> 00:40:41,372
DIFFICULT TO CROSS ROOSEVELT. WE

929
00:40:41,372 --> 00:40:44,942
WORKED IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR

930
00:40:44,942 --> 00:40:46,811
SIDEWALK TEAM TO BUILD A NEW 

931
00:40:46,811 --> 00:40:48,212

TRAFFIC CALMING . NOT ONLY DO 

933
00:40:51,782 --> 00:40:53,451

934
00:40:53,451 --> 00:40:55,052
ALONG 115th IN A SAFE WAY TO GET

935
00:40:55,052 --> 00:40:56,720
TO SCHOOL. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS 

936
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:58,923
THE GREATER VISTA , WE DID NOT 

937
00:40:58,923 --> 00:41:02,660
DO ANY WALKING TOUR IN 2025 

938
00:41:02,660 --> 00:41:04,195
BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF 

939
00:41:04,195 --> 00:41:05,729
WORK TO THE ZONE PROGRAM WHICH 

940
00:41:05,729 --> 00:41:07,231
IDENTIFIES TRAFFIC CALMING 

941
00:41:07,231 --> 00:41:08,866
THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND 

942
00:41:08,866 --> 00:41:12,036
NEIGHBORHOODS. A LOT OF IDEAS 

943
00:41:12,036 --> 00:41:15,739

945
00:41:20,010 --> 00:41:21,011

THERE ARE STILL A NUMBER OF 

947
00:41:22,746 --> 00:41:25,082
UNFUNDED PRIORITIES AND THAT IS 

948
00:41:25,082 --> 00:41:27,651
WHERE NISPP STEPPED IN TO HELP 

949
00:41:27,651 --> 00:41:28,452

951
00:41:30,221 --> 00:41:33,657

958
00:41:46,871 --> 00:41:48,539

POLLUTION NEIGHBORS AND WHY DO 

1096
00:47:08,592 --> 00:47:09,726
WE NEED THEM? I WANT TO 

1097
00:47:09,726 --> 00:47:11,395
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY DEPEND ON 

1098
00:47:11,395 --> 00:47:13,764
A STRONG FOUNDATION FROM THE 

1099
00:47:13,764 --> 00:47:14,898
CLIMATE CHANGE RESPONSE 

1100
00:47:14,898 --> 00:47:21,071
FRAMEWORK TO OUR COMMITMENTS TO 

1101
00:47:21,071 --> 00:47:21,905
THE LAST MAYOR'S EXECUTIVE 

1102
00:47:21,905 --> 00:47:23,340
ORDERS AND THE $8 MILLION OF 

1103
00:47:23,340 --> 00:47:23,974
VOTER APPROVED TRANSPORTATION 

1104
00:47:23,974 --> 00:47:28,412
LEVY [ INDISCERNIBLE ] . THROUGH

1105
00:47:28,412 --> 00:47:29,880
LPNS, WE RESPOND TO A FEW KEY 

1106
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:30,948
CHALLENGES, THE FIRST IS THAT 

1107
00:47:30,948 --> 00:47:31,982
TRANSPORTATION IS THE LARGEST 

1108
00:47:31,982 --> 00:47:33,083
SOURCE OF THE CLIMATE POLLUTION 

1109
00:47:33,083 --> 00:47:37,688
IN SEATTLE. SECONDLY , THE 

1110
00:47:37,688 --> 00:47:38,522
IMPACTS OF THESE POLLUTION AND 

1111
00:47:38,522 --> 00:47:39,523
CLIMATE RISKS ARE NOT EVENLY 

1112
00:47:39,523 --> 00:47:40,224
DISTRIBUTED ACROSS SEATTLE 

1113
00:47:40,224 --> 00:47:41,158
NEIGHBORHOODS. THIRDLY, MANY OF 

1114
00:47:41,158 --> 00:47:43,193
THE CITY PROGRAMS THAT DO 

1115
00:47:43,193 --> 00:47:44,294
ADDRESS THESE ISSUES ARE NOT 

1116
00:47:44,294 --> 00:47:47,264
ALIGNED IN THE SAME PLACE. LOCAL

1117
00:47:47,264 --> 00:47:48,332
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE OUR WAY OF 

1118
00:47:48,332 --> 00:47:49,132
BRINGING THESE EFFORTS TOGETHER.

1119
00:47:49,132 --> 00:47:51,501
WE THINK OF THEM AS DESIGNATED 

1120
00:47:51,501 --> 00:47:55,205
AREAS WHERE THE CITY CAN 

1121
00:47:55,205 --> 00:47:56,073
COORDINATE ACTIONS TO REDUCE 

1122
00:47:56,073 --> 00:47:57,241
POLLUTION AND STRENGTHEN HYPER 

1123
00:47:57,241 --> 00:48:02,579
RESILIENCE . THIS WOULD BE DONE 

1124
00:48:02,579 --> 00:48:03,847
BY ALIGNING DEPARTMENTS, WORKING

1125
00:48:03,847 --> 00:48:04,514
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITIES,

1126
00:48:04,514 --> 00:48:05,382
AND USING A MIXTURE OF POLICIES,

1127
00:48:05,382 --> 00:48:06,750
PROGRAMS, AND PROJECTS FOR 

1128
00:48:06,750 --> 00:48:08,051
STREETS AND MORE RESILIENT 

1129
00:48:08,051 --> 00:48:09,887
NEIGHBORHOODS. OVER THE LAST 

1130
00:48:09,887 --> 00:48:15,792
YEAR , WE SECURED FEDERAL RAISE 

1131
00:48:15,792 --> 00:48:16,693
GRANT TO FUND PLANNING EFFORT 

1132
00:48:16,693 --> 00:48:17,894
AND MOVE US TOWARDS 

1133
00:48:17,894 --> 00:48:24,134
IMPLEMENTATION . OVER THE NEXT 

1134
00:48:24,134 --> 00:48:25,168
YEAR, PHASE ONE WILL FOCUS ON 

1135
00:48:25,168 --> 00:48:25,836
PLANNING AND PARTNERSHIP 

1136
00:48:25,836 --> 00:48:26,970
BUILDING, WE WILL WORK WITH 

1137
00:48:26,970 --> 00:48:27,871
COMMUNITIES AND PILOT AREAS TO 

1138
00:48:27,871 --> 00:48:28,472
UNDERSTAND THE PRIORITIES, 

1139
00:48:28,472 --> 00:48:29,273
IDENTIFY STRATEGIES, BUILD OUT 

1140
00:48:29,273 --> 00:48:30,874
THE INITIAL TOOLBOX AND METRICS.

1141
00:48:30,874 --> 00:48:31,842
IN 2027, WE WILL MOVE TOWARDS 

1142
00:48:31,842 --> 00:48:36,179
DESIGN AND EARLY DELIVERY, WHERE

1143
00:48:36,179 --> 00:48:37,214
WE TAKE THOSE STRATEGIES AND 

1144
00:48:37,214 --> 00:48:38,215
ALIGN THEM WITH CITY PROGRAMS 

1145
00:48:38,215 --> 00:48:39,316
AND BEGIN IMPLEMENTING THEM IN 

1146
00:48:39,316 --> 00:48:40,083
OUR PRIORITY PROJECTS, SOME 

1147
00:48:40,083 --> 00:48:41,718
TIGHTLY AND SOME AS LONG RETURN 

1148
00:48:41,718 --> 00:48:46,323
PROJECTS . IN 2028 AND ONWARD, 

1149
00:48:46,323 --> 00:48:47,424
WE WILL FOCUS ON EVALUATION AND 

1150
00:48:47,424 --> 00:48:48,125
SCALE, TRACKING OUTCOMES, 

1151
00:48:48,125 --> 00:48:51,862
LEARNING THE WORKS, DELIVERY OF 

1152
00:48:51,862 --> 00:48:52,429
LONGER-TERM PRIORITIES, AND 

1153
00:48:52,429 --> 00:48:53,697
REFINING THE MODEL SO WE CAN 

1154
00:48:53,697 --> 00:48:54,498
POTENTIALLY EXPAND INTO OTHER 

1155
00:48:54,498 --> 00:48:58,368
NEIGHBORHOODS WITH FUTURE [ 

1156
00:48:58,368 --> 00:48:59,903
INDISCERNIBLE ]. A KEY PART OF 

1157
00:48:59,903 --> 00:49:00,570
THIS THROUGHOUT HIS COORDINATION

1158
00:49:00,570 --> 00:49:01,505
ACROSS DEPARTMENTS, WE HAVE BEEN

1159
00:49:01,505 --> 00:49:06,176
MEETING ACROSS SDOT , WESLEY , 

1160
00:49:06,176 --> 00:49:07,344
SEL, PARKS, OED, AND MORE TO 

1161
00:49:07,344 --> 00:49:08,011
IDENTIFY POTENTIAL PARTNERSHIPS 

1162
00:49:08,011 --> 00:49:09,079
IN THIS WORK AND GOT THE 

1163
00:49:09,079 --> 00:49:09,947
PROGRAMS DELIVERY, TO PILOT 

1164
00:49:09,947 --> 00:49:11,615
DELIVERY OVER THE YEARS. SO, 

1165
00:49:11,615 --> 00:49:13,951
WHAT COULD LPNS LOOK LIKE IN 

1166
00:49:13,951 --> 00:49:17,854
PRACTICE ? THE KEY IDEA IS 

1167
00:49:17,854 --> 00:49:18,555
LAYERING MULTIPLE PROJECTS AND 

1168
00:49:18,555 --> 00:49:20,824
STRATEGIES IN ONE PLACE, THE 

1169
00:49:20,824 --> 00:49:21,925
RESPONSE TO LOCAL CONDITIONS AND

1170
00:49:21,925 --> 00:49:23,260
PRIORITIES IN A COORDINATED WAY.

1171
00:49:23,260 --> 00:49:24,961
WE DO THIS THROUGH SHARED 

1172
00:49:24,961 --> 00:49:29,132
TOOLBOX OF MENU OF POLICIES AND 

1173
00:49:29,132 --> 00:49:30,067
PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS, THE CITY 

1174
00:49:30,067 --> 00:49:32,002
CAN DRAW FROM AND TAILORED TO 

1175
00:49:32,002 --> 00:49:37,674
EACH NEIGHBORHOOD . ACROSS THE 

1176
00:49:37,674 --> 00:49:38,408
NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT MAY INCLUDE 

1177
00:49:38,408 --> 00:49:39,309
SOMETHING LIKE MOBILITY AND 

1178
00:49:39,309 --> 00:49:39,876
SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS, SAFER 

1179
00:49:39,876 --> 00:49:40,711
WALKING AND BIKING CONNECTIONS, 

1180
00:49:40,711 --> 00:49:41,912
TRAFFIC CALMING AND SEVERAL 

1181
00:49:41,912 --> 00:49:47,551
CROSSINGS . IT COULD INCLUDE 

1182
00:49:47,551 --> 00:49:48,418
THINGS LIKE CLEAN TRANSPORTATION

1183
00:49:48,418 --> 00:49:49,252
STRATEGIES SUCH AS ELECTRICAL 

1184
00:49:49,252 --> 00:49:49,953
VEHICLE CHARGING, SUPPORT FOR 

1185
00:49:49,953 --> 00:49:50,787
CLEANER FREIGHT AND DELIVERS, 

1186
00:49:50,787 --> 00:49:51,722
AND EXTENDED MOBILITY OPTIONS. 

1187
00:49:51,722 --> 00:49:52,856
IN ADDITION, WE ARE LOOKING AT 

1188
00:49:52,856 --> 00:49:53,657
CLIMATE AND NEIGHBORHOOD RESULTS

1189
00:49:53,657 --> 00:49:54,658
INCLUDING THINGS LIKE READING 

1190
00:49:54,658 --> 00:49:56,026
AND STORM WATER AND COOLING 

1191
00:49:56,026 --> 00:49:57,327
STRATEGIES IN COORDINATION WITH 

1192
00:49:57,327 --> 00:49:58,695
RESILIENCE AND COMMUNITY OF THE 

1193
00:49:58,695 --> 00:50:02,332
STRUCTURE . FINALLY, AN 

1194
00:50:02,332 --> 00:50:03,667
IMPORTANT PART OF THIS WORK IS 

1195
00:50:03,667 --> 00:50:05,135
IMPROVING ACCESS TO PROGRAMS AND

1196
00:50:05,135 --> 00:50:07,237
COORDINATED INVESTMENT . THAT 

1197
00:50:07,237 --> 00:50:07,871
MEANS PRODUCING VARIOUS 

1198
00:50:07,871 --> 00:50:08,772
PARTICIPATION AND MAKING IT 

1199
00:50:08,772 --> 00:50:09,706
EASIER FOR RESIDENTS AND 

1200
00:50:09,706 --> 00:50:10,574

1202
00:50:11,375 --> 00:50:12,776
ALIGNING INVESTMENTS IN THE SAME

1203
00:50:12,776 --> 00:50:19,049
AREAS . TOGETHER, THIS LAYER 

1204
00:50:19,049 --> 00:50:20,117
TOOLBOX APPROACH ALLOWS LPNS TO 

1205
00:50:20,117 --> 00:50:20,884
DELIVER MORE MEANINGFUL AND 

1206
00:50:20,884 --> 00:50:21,852
VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT AT THE 

1207
00:50:21,852 --> 00:50:22,686
NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL . AS OF 

1208
00:50:22,686 --> 00:50:23,754
YESTERDAY, WE ARE HAPPY TO 

1209
00:50:23,754 --> 00:50:24,955
PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE THE INITIAL 

1210
00:50:24,955 --> 00:50:25,922
LOW POLLUTION NEIGHBORHOOD PILOT

1211
00:50:25,922 --> 00:50:28,058
LOCATIONS THROUGH THE BLOG AND 

1212
00:50:28,058 --> 00:50:30,093
SOCIALS FROM SDOT WHICH WERE 

1213
00:50:30,093 --> 00:50:31,194
IDENTIFIED USING A SERIES OF 

1214
00:50:31,194 --> 00:50:34,398
CRITERIA TO FOCUS ON AREAS WHERE

1215
00:50:34,398 --> 00:50:35,399
COORDINATED ACTION COULD HAVE 

1216
00:50:35,399 --> 00:50:38,068
SOME REALLY STRONG IMPACT . WE 

1217
00:50:38,068 --> 00:50:45,208
LOOKED AT FACTORS LIKE POLLUTION

1218
00:50:45,208 --> 00:50:46,076
, CLIMATE RISK, SAFETY, AND 

1219
00:50:46,076 --> 00:50:46,943

FUTURE PHASES. EACH OF THESE 

1226
00:50:58,622 --> 00:50:59,256
NEIGHBORHOODS REFLECT DIFFERENT 

1227
00:50:59,256 --> 00:51:00,023
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE CITY WHILE

1228
00:51:00,023 --> 00:51:03,727
ALSO SHARING COMMON CHALLENGES ,

1229
00:51:03,727 --> 00:51:04,361

1245
00:51:31,855 --> 00:51:33,156
NEIGHBORHOODS . WE WILL START 

1246
00:51:33,156 --> 00:51:37,027
PLANNING WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS

1247
00:51:37,027 --> 00:51:38,428
WHICH WILL INCLUDE NEIGHBORHOOD 

1248
00:51:38,428 --> 00:51:39,229

FROM PLANNING TO IMPLEMENTATION 

1256
00:51:58,215 --> 00:51:59,483
. THE NEXT PHASE OVERALL IS 

1257
00:51:59,483 --> 00:52:00,484
ABOUT TURNING THE FRAMEWORK INTO

1258
00:52:00,484 --> 00:52:01,284
SOMETHING TANGIBLE AND WORKING 

1259
00:52:01,284 --> 00:52:02,385

THESE THREE SECTIONS . I 

1421
00:58:22,298 --> 00:58:22,932
RECOGNIZE DIFFERENT PIECES 

1422
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:24,167
BECAUSE I PARTICIPATED IN THE 

1423
00:58:24,167 --> 00:58:25,735
NEIGHBORHOOD STREET FUND PIECES.

1424
00:58:25,735 --> 00:58:28,471

OFF THE BEATEN TRACK AND IT IS 

1434
00:58:55,064 --> 00:58:55,865
IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS 

1435
00:58:55,865 --> 00:58:57,133
OF THE COMMUNITY. I HAVE HEARD

ABOUT DRIVING PROJECT . IT IS 

1540

IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT

1542
01:03:55,865 --> 01:03:57,166

1562
01:04:42,044 --> 01:04:42,745
DESIGN FROM COMMUNITY AND 

1563
01:04:42,745 --> 01:04:43,913
WANTING TO ADVANCE THE DESIGN

LOOK FOR GRANTS ? THESE ARE 

1569
01:04:52,588 --> 01:04:55,324
UNIQUE PROJECTS WHERE WE CAN 

1570
01:04:55,324 --> 01:04:56,158
VALUE ENGINEER ELEMENTS OUT 

1571
01:04:56,158 --> 01:04:57,927
BECAUSE WE WANT TO THE INDICATE 

1572
01:04:57,927 --> 01:04:59,762
TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE 

1573
01:04:59,762 --> 01:05:01,030

1583
01:05:29,959 --> 01:05:30,593
HARD TO ESTIMATE BEFORE YOU GET 

1584
01:05:30,593 --> 01:05:31,894
TO 30% DESIGN, I THOUGHT I WOULD

1585
01:05:31,894 --> 01:05:33,329
ASK AND WE ALL HAVE AN INTEREST 

1586
01:05:33,329 --> 01:05:34,563

WATER IN THESE SITUATIONS AND I 

1791
01:13:39,014 --> 01:13:41,884
APOLOGIZE. I WAS PUT ON THE 

1792
01:13:41,884 --> 01:13:45,754
SPOT. OUR BUSINESS HAS BEEN IN 

1793
01:13:45,754 --> 01:13:48,757
WEST SEATTLE FOR TEN YEARS NOW. 

1794
01:13:48,757 --> 01:13:53,128
WE HAVE BEEN ON THE POTENTIALLY 

1795
01:13:53,128 --> 01:13:54,963
IMPACTED LIST DEALING WITH WEST 

1796
01:13:54,963 --> 01:13:56,932
SEATTLE LIGHT RAIL , POTENTIALLY

1797
01:13:56,932 --> 01:13:58,333
COMING TO WEST SEATTLE FOR FIVE 

1798
01:13:58,333 --> 01:14:01,470
OR SIX YEARS. QUITE HONESTLY , 

1799
01:14:01,470 --> 01:14:06,275
UNTIL ABOUT THREE , FOUR WEEKS 

1800
01:14:06,275 --> 01:14:07,676
AGO WHEN I GOT INTRODUCED TO THE

1801
01:14:07,676 --> 01:14:12,281
NEW PROJECT TEAM , I KNEW ABOUT 

1802
01:14:12,281 --> 01:14:13,949
AS MUCH AS I DID SIX YEARS AGO 

1803
01:14:13,949 --> 01:14:15,083
WHEN I KNEW MY BUSINESS WOULD 

1804
01:14:15,083 --> 01:14:16,051
POTENTIALLY HAVE TO RELOCATE. I 

1805
01:14:16,051 --> 01:14:17,119
THINK THE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR 

1806
01:14:17,119 --> 01:14:18,287
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS IS 

1807
01:14:18,287 --> 01:14:22,257
FINANCIAL. WE ARE A SMALL 

1808
01:14:22,257 --> 01:14:23,392
BUSINESS, WE DO NOT HAVE PILES 

1809
01:14:23,392 --> 01:14:25,027
OF CASH SITTING AROUND. WHEN WE 

1810
01:14:25,027 --> 01:14:26,929
LOOK AT HAVING TO FACE 

1811
01:14:26,929 --> 01:14:30,799
RELOCATION, I -- MY MAIN ASK IS 

1812
01:14:30,799 --> 01:14:33,268
, WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM

1813
01:14:33,268 --> 01:14:34,803
? IF I ESTIMATE MY BUSINESS 

1814
01:14:34,803 --> 01:14:41,410
TAKING $500,000 TO RELOCATE, I 

1815
01:14:41,410 --> 01:14:42,511
NOTE THAT SOUND TRANSIT DOES NOT

1816
01:14:42,511 --> 01:14:43,946
PROVIDE 100% OF THAT COST. MY 

1817
01:14:43,946 --> 01:14:46,014
QUESTION IS, WHERE DO I GET THAT

1818
01:14:46,014 --> 01:14:47,683
, WHERE DOES THAT MONEY COME 

1819
01:14:47,683 --> 01:14:50,285
FROM ? EVEN IF SOUND TRANSIT 

1820
01:14:50,285 --> 01:14:51,954
PROVIDES 50% OF THE COST TO HELP

1821
01:14:51,954 --> 01:14:54,590
US WITH THE RELOCATION BECAUSE 

1822
01:14:54,590 --> 01:14:55,524
THEY DO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE, THAT

1823
01:14:55,524 --> 01:14:59,361
IS A FACT, BUT WHERE THERE IS A 

1824
01:14:59,361 --> 01:15:01,530
GAP OF FUNDING , WHERE THE 

1825
01:15:01,530 --> 01:15:04,533
ADDITIONAL MONEY COMES FROM? 

1826
01:15:04,533 --> 01:15:06,502
THAT IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING

1827
01:15:06,502 --> 01:15:08,437
SMALL BUSINESSES . WHERE DOES 

1828
01:15:08,437 --> 01:15:11,006

THE NEXT LINE, PLEASE. THIS 

2035
01:24:06,174 --> 01:24:08,676
SLIDE SHOWS A MAP OF THE 

2036
01:24:08,676 --> 01:24:10,311
EXTENSION PROJECT, IT WOULD ADD 

2037
01:24:10,311 --> 01:24:13,515
FOUR MILES OF NEW GREAT 

2038
01:24:13,515 --> 01:24:18,019
SEPARATED LIGHT RAIL BETWEEN 

2039
01:24:18,019 --> 01:24:19,054

FOUR STATIONS, TALK ABOUT WHAT I

2042
01:24:22,791 --> 01:24:27,829
MEAN LATER. CONNECTED WITH THE 

2043
01:24:27,829 --> 01:24:29,764
REGIONAL LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM , 

2044
01:24:29,764 --> 01:24:31,065
THIS PROJECT WOULD REDUCE TRAVEL

2045
01:24:31,065 --> 01:24:32,434
TIME FOR ALASKA JUNCTION TO 

2046
01:24:32,434 --> 01:24:36,004
WESTLAKE BY HALF . TAKE A TRIP 

2047
01:24:36,004 --> 01:24:38,206
THAT WOULD BE 30 MINUTES DOWN TO

2048
01:24:38,206 --> 01:24:40,074
16 MINUTES WHICH GIVES PEOPLE AN

2049
01:24:40,074 --> 01:24:42,310
EXTRA 15 MINUTES ONE WAY OR 30 

2050
01:24:42,310 --> 01:24:43,711
MINUTES ON THE DAY TO SPEND TIME

2051

PROJECT RECEIVED A RECORD OF 

2054
01:24:49,751 --> 01:24:51,352
DECISION FROM THE [

INDISCERNIBLE ] , PRIOR TO THAT,

2056
01:24:55,090 --> 01:24:56,124
WE PUBLISHED A FINAL [ 

2057
01:24:56,124 --> 01:24:59,194
INDISCERNIBLE ] IN SEPTEMBER 

2058
01:24:59,194 --> 01:25:02,030
2024, AT THE SAME TIME , WE 

2059
01:25:02,030 --> 01:25:02,897
UPDATED COST ESTIMATES WHICH 

2060
01:25:02,897 --> 01:25:04,232
IDENTIFIED FUNDING GAP BETWEEN 

2061
01:25:04,232 --> 01:25:05,934
THE AFFORDABLE PROJECT AND THE 

2062
01:25:05,934 --> 01:25:08,570
PROJECT ESTIMATE AT THAT TIME . 

2063
01:25:08,570 --> 01:25:10,738
SINCE THEN , WE HAVE BEEN 

2064
01:25:10,738 --> 01:25:11,806
WORKING TO IDENTIFY AN 

2065
01:25:11,806 --> 01:25:14,342
OPPORTUNITY TO REDUCE COSTS AND 

2066
01:25:14,342 --> 01:25:15,944
REDUCE COMMUNITY IMPACT. WE 

2067
01:25:15,944 --> 01:25:18,113
PRESENTED AT THE SYSTEM 

2068
01:25:18,113 --> 01:25:21,516
EXPANSION COMMITTEE MEETING, 

2069
01:25:21,516 --> 01:25:22,750
SOME OF THOSE IMPACT REDUCTIONS 

2070
01:25:22,750 --> 01:25:23,852
AND COST SAVINGS LAST WEEK. THAT

2071
01:25:23,852 --> 01:25:27,122
WORK WAS INITIATED BY A BOARD 

2072
01:25:27,122 --> 01:25:32,927
MOTION, 2024, IT REALLY ASKED US

2073
01:25:32,927 --> 01:25:35,497
AS STAFF TO LOOK AT PROGRAMMATIC

2074
01:25:35,497 --> 01:25:37,765
AND PROJECT SPECIFIC COST 

2075
01:25:37,765 --> 01:25:39,100
SAVINGS MEASURES THAT COULD BE 

2076
01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:41,069
IMPLEMENTED ON WEST SEATTLE 

2077
01:25:41,069 --> 01:25:43,371
PROJECT ACROSS THE ENTIRE 

2078
01:25:43,371 --> 01:25:44,806
PROGRAM TO REDUCE IMPACTS AND 

2079
01:25:44,806 --> 01:25:47,108
BRING THE PROGRAM AFFORDABILITY 

2080
01:25:47,108 --> 01:25:51,379
. FOUR MOSQUEDA MENTIONED THE 

2081
01:25:51,379 --> 01:25:52,547
RETREAT YESTERDAY WHICH WAS 

2082
01:25:52,547 --> 01:25:54,149
CENTERED ON BRINGING THIS WORK 

2083
01:25:54,149 --> 01:25:57,852
FORWARD. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. ONE

2084
01:25:57,852 --> 01:26:00,555
OF THE ALTERNATIVES THAT WAS 

2085
01:26:00,555 --> 01:26:01,689
INCLUDED IN THE FINAL EIS 

2086
01:26:01,689 --> 01:26:04,759
INCLUDED ALIGNMENT IN WEST 

2087
01:26:04,759 --> 01:26:07,595
SEATTLE, IT WOULD NOT HAVE A 

2088
01:26:07,595 --> 01:26:11,399
STATION ON AVALON, A POTENTIAL 

2089
01:26:11,399 --> 01:26:14,135
COST-SAVING MEASURE. WE ARE HERE

2090
01:26:14,135 --> 01:26:16,371
LOOKING AT COST SAVINGS , I WILL

2091
01:26:16,371 --> 01:26:17,839
SHARE SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES 

2092
01:26:17,839 --> 01:26:19,474
THAT WE LOOKED AT FOR WEST 

2093
01:26:19,474 --> 01:26:21,276
SEATTLE, LOOKED AT A BROAD RANGE

2094
01:26:21,276 --> 01:26:23,378
OF COST-SAVING OPPORTUNITIES AND

2095
01:26:23,378 --> 01:26:25,046
THE ONES I'M FOCUSING ON TODAY 

2096
01:26:25,046 --> 01:26:26,881
, TO MOVE THE DIAL THE MOST, 

2097
01:26:26,881 --> 01:26:30,585
PROVIDE THE MOST IMPACT 

2098
01:26:30,585 --> 01:26:35,323
REDUCTION AND SUBSTANTIAL COST 

2099
01:26:35,323 --> 01:26:35,924
SAVINGS, THESE WOULD INCLUDE 

2100
01:26:35,924 --> 01:26:38,293
CONSOLIDATION OF STATIONS IN 

2101
01:26:38,293 --> 01:26:40,261
WEST SEATTLE. WOULD ELIMINATE 

2102
01:26:40,261 --> 01:26:44,432
THE AVALON STATION . WE WOULD 

2103
01:26:44,432 --> 01:26:46,334
SHIFT THE RIDERSHIP FOR THAT 

2104
01:26:46,334 --> 01:26:49,270
STATION TO ALASKA JUNCTION 

2105
01:26:49,270 --> 01:26:50,872
DELRIDGE. ONE KEY THING TO NOTE,

2106
01:26:50,872 --> 01:26:53,408
THAT [ INDISCERNIBLE ] FOR MIKE 

2107
01:26:53,408 --> 01:26:56,578
AVALON, AS COLLECTED JUNCTION, 

2108
01:26:56,578 --> 01:27:00,181
DELRIDGE, HAVE OVERLAPPED, 

2109
01:27:00,181 --> 01:27:01,516
WALKING TO AVALON IS TO CONNECT 

2110
01:27:01,516 --> 01:27:03,851
WITH THE SYSTEM BY GOING TO 

2111
01:27:03,851 --> 01:27:06,788
DELRIDGE, AND THOSE ARRIVING BY 

2112
01:27:06,788 --> 01:27:08,489
BUS, A PLAN TO CONNECT TO THEM 

2113
01:27:08,489 --> 01:27:12,594
WITH THE STATIONS IF THE BOARD 

2114
01:27:12,594 --> 01:27:14,028
MOVES FORWARD WITHOUT THE AVALON

2115
01:27:14,028 --> 01:27:16,331
STATION. THIS MAP ON THE RIGHT 

2116
01:27:16,331 --> 01:27:18,166
SHOWS THE TWO ALIGNMENTS, THE 

2117
01:27:18,166 --> 01:27:20,401
BLUE LINE AT THE TOP AND THE 

2118
01:27:20,401 --> 01:27:24,005
GRAY LINE ON THE BOTTOM, THE 

2119
01:27:24,005 --> 01:27:25,206
GRAY LINE IS THE RECORD OF 

2120
01:27:25,206 --> 01:27:26,341
DECISION ALIGNMENT AND THE BLUE 

2121
01:27:26,341 --> 01:27:27,842
LINE IS THE COST-SAVING MEASURE 

2122
01:27:27,842 --> 01:27:30,712
ALIGNMENT. CSM. NEXT SLIDE , 

2123
01:27:30,712 --> 01:27:34,449
PLEASE. WHEN WE LOOK AT AN 

2124
01:27:34,449 --> 01:27:35,416
ALIGNMENT WITHOUT THE AVALON 

2125
01:27:35,416 --> 01:27:38,886
STATION , IT NOT ONLY HAS DIRECT

2126
01:27:38,886 --> 01:27:42,423
COST AND IMPACT REDUCTIONS, BUT 

2127
01:27:42,423 --> 01:27:43,358
IT COMES UP A NUMBER OF 

2128
01:27:43,358 --> 01:27:44,592
OPPORTUNITIES TO CHANGE THE 

2129
01:27:44,592 --> 01:27:46,327
ALIGNMENT OF THE SYSTEM IN WEST 

2130
01:27:46,327 --> 01:27:48,696
SEATTLE . THAT ALLOWS US TO LOOK

2131
01:27:48,696 --> 01:27:49,897
AT OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR 

2132
01:27:49,897 --> 01:27:51,132
IMPACT REDUCTION. ONE OF THOSE 

2133
01:27:51,132 --> 01:27:55,737
IS SHOWN HERE. WE INCLUDED THE 

2134
01:27:55,737 --> 01:27:58,439
NEW MAP ON THE TUNNEL , THE WEST

2135
01:27:58,439 --> 01:27:59,507
SEATTLE BRIDGE CONNECTION, ON 

2136
01:27:59,507 --> 01:28:02,610
THE WEST SIDE OF AVALON WAY, BY 

2137
01:28:02,610 --> 01:28:04,946
HAVING THAT TOTAL PORTAL ON THE 

2138
01:28:04,946 --> 01:28:08,583
WEST SIDE, WE HAD A VERY SMALL 

2139
01:28:08,583 --> 01:28:09,817
AREA TO CROSS AVALON WAY TO 

2140
01:28:09,817 --> 01:28:11,486
REDUCE THE IMPACT [ 

2141
01:28:11,486 --> 01:28:14,922
INDISCERNIBLE ] . WHEN WE ARE 

2142
01:28:14,922 --> 01:28:17,759
LOOKING AT THIS WITH ADDITIONAL 

2143
01:28:17,759 --> 01:28:20,028
DESIGN RESOURCES, WE LOOK AT 

2144
01:28:20,028 --> 01:28:22,163
SHIFTING THE TUNNEL PORTAL BACK 

2145
01:28:22,163 --> 01:28:23,398
TO A PROPERTY THAT WOULD ALREADY

2146
01:28:23,398 --> 01:28:24,799
BE NEEDED FOR THE OTHER 

2147
01:28:24,799 --> 01:28:26,701
ALTERNATIVE . WE WERE ABLE TO 

2148
01:28:26,701 --> 01:28:29,904
REALLY REDUCE THE IMPACTS ON 

2149
01:28:29,904 --> 01:28:35,076
AVALON WAY. NOW THAT WE HAVE -- 

2150
01:28:35,076 --> 01:28:37,178
ON THE SIDE OF AVALON WAY, LOOK 

2151
01:28:37,178 --> 01:28:39,414
AT THE BEST ALIGNMENT TO REDUCE 

2152
01:28:39,414 --> 01:28:42,717
IMPACTS AND COSTS AT THE 

2153
01:28:42,717 --> 01:28:43,985
DELRIDGE STATION IN THE PORTAL 

2154
01:28:43,985 --> 01:28:46,320
AND WERE ABLE TO SHIFT TO THAT 

2155
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:47,488
ALIGNMENT A LITTLE BIT TO THE 

2156
01:28:47,488 --> 01:28:50,825
NORTH ONE BLOCK, TO ANDOVER , IN

2157
01:28:50,825 --> 01:28:54,062
DOING SO, REDUCE THE AFFECTS 

2158
01:28:54,062 --> 01:28:56,764
ALONG FLINT CREEK. WE WOULD HAVE

2159
01:28:56,764 --> 01:29:04,305
-- LONGFELLOW CREEK. CROSSING IT

2160
01:29:04,305 --> 01:29:06,441
TO ANDOVER WHERE IT IS IN A 

2161
01:29:06,441 --> 01:29:09,310
PIPE. AVOIDING THE DISPLACEMENT 

2162
01:29:09,310 --> 01:29:11,846
OF THE WEST SEATTLE HEALTH CLUB.

2163
01:29:11,846 --> 01:29:15,350
SHE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE GYM 

2164
01:29:15,350 --> 01:29:18,986
IN DELRIDGE . A BIG IMPACT 

2165
01:29:18,986 --> 01:29:20,755

GEOMETRY SHOWN AT THE TOP, THE 

2170

RECORD DECISION ALIGNMENT , YOU 

2171
01:29:32,734 --> 01:29:34,335
CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE A TUNNEL 

2172
01:29:34,335 --> 01:29:38,172
AND A STATION UNDER 41st , 

2173
01:29:38,172 --> 01:29:39,707
STRADDLING ALASKA STREET , SOUTH

2174
01:29:39,707 --> 01:29:42,310
OF THE STATION , WE NEEDED A 

2175
01:29:42,310 --> 01:29:44,011
CROSSOVER , THIS IS WHAT ALLOWS 

2176
01:29:44,011 --> 01:29:46,047
THE TRANSIT FROM ONE SIDE TO THE

2177
01:29:46,047 --> 01:29:47,749
OTHER AND A TRACK [ 

2178
01:29:47,749 --> 01:29:50,251
INDISCERNIBLE ] . THEY HAVE TWO 

2179
01:29:50,251 --> 01:29:53,020
RIVERS THAT. IDEALLY , YOU WANT 

2180
01:29:53,020 --> 01:29:56,357
THE CROSSOVER, NORTH OF IT, 

2181
01:29:56,357 --> 01:29:59,494
BECAUSE OF THE TUNNEL GEOMETRY .

2182
01:29:59,494 --> 01:30:01,195
WITHOUT THE AVALON STATION, WE 

2183
01:30:01,195 --> 01:30:03,398
ARE ABLE TO REALIGN THE TUNNEL 

2184
01:30:03,398 --> 01:30:05,666
AND MOVED THE CROSSOVER IN FRONT

2185
01:30:05,666 --> 01:30:07,769
OF THE STATION. WHEN WE DO THAT,

2186
01:30:07,769 --> 01:30:11,139
WE REDUCE ALL OF THE NEED TO 

2187
01:30:11,139 --> 01:30:11,906
ACQUIRE PROPERTIES AND THE 

2188
01:30:11,906 --> 01:30:13,541

IS SOMEWHAT [ INDISCERNIBLE ] 

2193
01:30:23,017 --> 01:30:24,652
BEING EFFICIENT WITH THE SPACE 

2194
01:30:24,652 --> 01:30:26,554
BY NOT NEEDING THE STRUCTURE AND

2195
01:30:26,554 --> 01:30:27,822
ALL OF THE PROPERTY TO THE 

2196
01:30:27,822 --> 01:30:29,924
SOUTH, WE ARE ABLE TO INTEGRATE 

2197
01:30:29,924 --> 01:30:32,160
IT INTO THE STATION . SIMILAR TO

2198
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:34,729
HOW WE BUILT ROOSEVELT AT THE 

2199
01:30:34,729 --> 01:30:36,731
UNIVERSITY DISTRICT STATION. 

2200
01:30:36,731 --> 01:30:39,667
ABLE TO HAVE VENTILATION BECAUSE

2201
01:30:39,667 --> 01:30:41,269
THAT IS WHERE IT IS NEEDED. IN 

2202
01:30:41,269 --> 01:30:45,807
DOING SO, YOU CAN SEE SOUTH OF 

2203
01:30:45,807 --> 01:30:46,741
THE STATION BOX WE WOULD REDUCE 

2204
01:30:46,741 --> 01:30:48,543
THE NEED FOR THOSE PROPERTIES . 

2205
01:30:48,543 --> 01:30:50,378
WE ARE ALSO ABLE TO SHIFT THE 

2206
01:30:50,378 --> 01:30:54,081
STATION OUT OF THE STREET 

2207
01:30:54,081 --> 01:30:56,484
RIGHT-OF-WAY, TO THE EAST OF 

2208
01:30:56,484 --> 01:30:58,886
41st . IN DOING SO, WE AVOID 

2209
01:30:58,886 --> 01:31:01,122
SOME UTILITIES AT 41st AND ABLE 

2210
01:31:01,122 --> 01:31:01,756
TO BRING UP THE STATION, WANTED 

2211
01:31:01,756 --> 01:31:02,356
MORE SHALLOW STATIONS IN THE 

2212
01:31:02,356 --> 01:31:03,157
SYSTEM, WHICH WOULD MAKE IT A 

2213
01:31:03,157 --> 01:31:05,460
GREAT TRANSFER AND ACCESS FOR 

2214
01:31:05,460 --> 01:31:09,130
PEOPLE USING THE SYSTEM. THESE 

2215
01:31:09,130 --> 01:31:10,031
ARE NOT ONLY HELPING TO COST 

2216
01:31:10,031 --> 01:31:12,166
SAVE , BUT A NUMBER OF 

2217
01:31:12,166 --> 01:31:13,634

2536
01:43:46,053 --> 01:43:49,423

ALSO ARTICULATE THEIR NEEDS . AT

01:48:26,633 --> 01:48:29,135

2647
01:48:29,135 --> 01:48:30,470

01:48:42,649 --> 01:48:45,519
PACKAGE OF SUPPORT AND BENEFITS 

2655
01:48:45,519 --> 01:48:47,888
THAT SOUND TRANSIT AS AN AGENCY

AS WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS 

2915

A LIFE THAT WOULD'VE GONE TO

2968
02:01:52,705 --> 02:01:56,008
YEARS OR SO IN CONSTRUCTION , IF

2969
02:01:56,008 --> 02:01:57,576
THERE WAS A LIGHT AT THE END OF 

2970
02:01:57,576 --> 02:02:00,346
THE TUNNEL, IF YOU MOVED AND THE

2971
02:02:00,346 --> 02:02:01,547

2979
02:02:14,360 --> 02:02:17,663

THE SOUND TRANSIT TEAM HAS DONE 

3021
02:03:54,393 --> 02:03:55,895
BY THE CREATIVE THINKING THEY 

3022
02:03:55,895 --> 02:03:58,898
SHOWED BETWEEN THE NUCOR AND 

3023
02:03:58,898 --> 02:03:59,799
WEST SEATTLE HEALTH CLUB AND 

3024
02:03:59,799 --> 02:04:01,033
DEMONSTRATED CLEARLY BY THE 

3025
02:04:01,033 --> 02:04:01,700
PRESERVATION OF ALL OF THOSE 

3026
02:04:01,700 --> 02:04:03,102
BUSINESSES AT THE JEFFERSON 

3027
02:04:03,102 --> 02:04:05,337
SQUARE , WHEN YOU GET TO THE 

3028
02:04:05,337 --> 02:04:08,374
ALASKA JUNCTION. THAT IS AN 

3029
02:04:08,374 --> 02:04:09,708
INCREDIBLE DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT

3030
02:04:09,708 --> 02:04:14,513
IT MEANS TO ASK SOUND TRANSIT TO

3031
02:04:14,513 --> 02:04:15,948
GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND

3032
02:04:15,948 --> 02:04:17,149
AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE COST SAVINGS

3033
02:04:17,149 --> 02:04:21,554
. $2.6 BILLION IS THE LOW-END 

3034
02:04:21,554 --> 02:04:23,489
ESTIMATE OF WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO 

3035
02:04:23,489 --> 02:04:26,392
SHAVE IN TERMS OF COST . MY HOPE

3036
02:04:26,392 --> 02:04:31,797
IS THAT, WITH ADDITIONAL WAY OF 

3037
02:04:31,797 --> 02:04:33,032
THINKING AS WE MOVE FORWARD, NOT

3038
02:04:33,032 --> 02:04:34,033
ONLY SEEING NEW STRATEGIES TO 

3039
02:04:34,033 --> 02:04:35,067
SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES, IF NOT

3040
02:04:35,067 --> 02:04:37,136
PRESERVE SOME MORE, BUT TO SEE 

3041
02:04:37,136 --> 02:04:38,204
THIS TYPE OF COST SAVINGS 

3042
02:04:38,204 --> 02:04:40,372
APPLIED TO PLACES LIKE BALLARD .

3043
02:04:40,372 --> 02:04:41,907
THAT REQUIRES US TELLING SOUND 

3044
02:04:41,907 --> 02:04:46,178
TRANSIT AND THE EXECUTIVES, TO 

3045
02:04:46,178 --> 02:04:49,014
GO FORWARD WITH ADVANCING THE 

3046
02:04:49,014 --> 02:04:50,883
DESIGNS FOR PLACES LIKE BALLARD,

3047
02:04:50,883 --> 02:04:56,422
SEEK ADDITIONAL COST SAVINGS , 

3048
02:04:56,422 --> 02:04:57,056
PURSUE ADDITIONAL REVENUE, AND 

3049
02:04:57,056 --> 02:04:59,625
IN THE MEANTIME , DO EVERYTHING 

3050
02:04:59,625 --> 02:05:00,826
YOU CAN TO MOVE FORWARD ON 

3051

3149
02:08:38,077 --> 02:08:40,345
WANTED TO DIVE INTO SOME OF THE 

3150
02:08:40,345 --> 02:08:41,847
POINTS RELATED TO CURRENT 

3151
02:08:41,847 --> 02:08:43,682
RESIDENTIAL RELOCATION, I KNOW 

3152
02:08:43,682 --> 02:08:46,151
THERE IS A COUPLE OF SLIDES ON 

3153
02:08:46,151 --> 02:08:47,386
THIS MATTER, I AM WONDERING IF 

3154
02:08:47,386 --> 02:08:49,021

3156
02:08:52,324 --> 02:08:53,725

3157
02:08:53,725 --> 02:08:54,393
GONE TO RESIDENTIAL RELOCATION 

3158
02:08:54,393 --> 02:08:55,594
TO THIS CURRENT SOUND TRANSIT 

3159
02:08:55,594 --> 02:08:58,263
PROCESS? HOW DO WE INVOLVE THE 

3160
02:08:58,263 --> 02:09:00,032
PROGRAM AND HOW DO WE REGARD 

3161
02:09:00,032 --> 02:09:03,335
SUCCESS HOW ARE WE ENSURING THAT

3162
02:09:03,335 --> 02:09:04,436
OUR RESIDENTIAL RELOCATION 

3163
02:09:04,436 --> 02:09:05,437
EFFORTS, AS WELL AS OUR 

3164
02:09:05,437 --> 02:09:07,906
COMMERCIAL RELOCATION EFFORTS 

3165
02:09:07,906 --> 02:09:08,907
ARE SUCCESSFUL, WHAT DOES THAT 

3166
02:09:08,907 --> 02:09:10,275
SUCCESS REALLY LOOK LIKE? 

3167
02:09:10,275 --> 02:09:19,351
>> I DO NOT KNOW WHO AT THE 

3168
02:09:19,351 --> 02:09:20,853
TABLE IS BEST TO ANSWER THE 

3169
02:09:20,853 --> 02:09:23,889
QUESTION. I WILL START. IN 

3170
02:09:23,889 --> 02:09:26,191
GENERAL RELOCATION EFFORTS HAVE 

3171
02:09:26,191 --> 02:09:31,830
ONLY JUST BEGUN, DUE TO OUR COST

3172
02:09:31,830 --> 02:09:33,765
SAVINGS WORK AND LOOKING AT THE 

3173
02:09:33,765 --> 02:09:35,701
DESIGN OF THE STATION LOCATIONS,

3174
02:09:35,701 --> 02:09:39,371
WE HAVE PAUSED A LOT OF 

3175
02:09:39,371 --> 02:09:40,973
RELOCATION ACTIVITIES . THERE 

3176
02:09:40,973 --> 02:09:43,142
HAVE BEEN THREE RESIDENTIAL 

3177
02:09:43,142 --> 02:09:46,078
ACQUISITIONS AND A RELOCATION , 

3178
02:09:46,078 --> 02:09:49,915
THOSE HAVE BEEN TRIGGERED BY 

3179
02:09:49,915 --> 02:09:53,051
UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES . MEDICAL 

3180
02:09:53,051 --> 02:09:56,788
OR FINANCIAL , SEVERE FOR THE 

3181
02:09:56,788 --> 02:09:58,123
PROPERTY OWNERS , THESE WERE 

3182
02:09:58,123 --> 02:10:01,393
FAMILY HOMES . I BELIEVE ALL 

3183
02:10:01,393 --> 02:10:03,462
THOSE ACQUISITIONS AND 

3184
02:10:03,462 --> 02:10:04,563
RELOCATIONS HAVE ALREADY 

3185
02:10:04,563 --> 02:10:07,232
OCCURRED AND I HAVE HEARD 

3186
02:10:07,232 --> 02:10:08,433
POSITIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT THE 

3187
02:10:08,433 --> 02:10:10,969
PROCESS. THEY HAVE EXPEDITED 

3188
02:10:10,969 --> 02:10:12,938
THOSE PROCESSES BECAUSE OF THEIR

3189
02:10:12,938 --> 02:10:13,772
CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES . A 

3190
02:10:13,772 --> 02:10:15,641
LOT OF SMALL BUSINESSES WHO ARE 

3191
02:10:15,641 --> 02:10:18,277
ALSO UNDER A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY 

3192
02:10:18,277 --> 02:10:21,380
AND STRESS, WE WANT TO 

3193
02:10:21,380 --> 02:10:25,684
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS A 

3194
02:10:25,684 --> 02:10:26,485
CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCE TO BE 

3195
02:10:26,485 --> 02:10:29,655
IN AND WE ARE WORKING HARD. 

3196
02:10:29,655 --> 02:10:33,559
>> AND TO ADDRESSED YOUR 

3197
02:10:33,559 --> 02:10:35,060
QUESTION OF WHAT WOULD SUCCESS 

3198
02:10:35,060 --> 02:10:38,363
LOOK LIKE, I CAN SAY, SPOKE TO 

3199
02:10:38,363 --> 02:10:40,599
THE SUCCESS SOUND TRANSIT HAS 

3200
02:10:40,599 --> 02:10:44,203
HAD, FROM MY FORMER EXPERTS IN 

3201
02:10:44,203 --> 02:10:46,471
LOS ANGELES METRO, THERE WERE A 

3202
02:10:46,471 --> 02:10:48,440
LOT OF SUCCESS STORIES , WHAT TO

3203
02:10:48,440 --> 02:10:50,042
REMEMBER IS, GENERALLY, WE ARE 

3204
02:10:50,042 --> 02:10:52,778
TALKING HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS 

3205
02:10:52,778 --> 02:10:54,046
AND HUNDREDS OF RELOCATIONS. 

3206
02:10:54,046 --> 02:10:55,814
GENERALLY SPEAKING, THEY TURNED 

3207
02:10:55,814 --> 02:11:00,252
OUT BETTER THAN THEY DO CREATE 

3208
02:11:00,252 --> 02:11:03,388
TROUBLES . FROM A RESIDENTIAL 

3209
02:11:03,388 --> 02:11:04,690
PERSPECTIVE, IT IS THE 

3210
02:11:04,690 --> 02:11:07,626
RELOCATION AGENTS THAT [ 

3211
02:11:07,626 --> 02:11:12,731
INDISCERNIBLE ] 100 STORIES OF, 

3212
02:11:12,731 --> 02:11:15,934
I LOVE THAT TREE, WHAT CAN YOU 

3213
02:11:15,934 --> 02:11:20,572
DO FOR ME? THE TREE IS MOVED. 

3214
02:11:20,572 --> 02:11:21,640
VISCERAL RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE 

3215
02:11:21,640 --> 02:11:23,709
TO OUR BUSINESSES AND 

3216
02:11:23,709 --> 02:11:24,843
COMMUNITIES HAVE TO THE 

3217
02:11:24,843 --> 02:11:27,746
BUSINESSES. ON THE COMMERCIAL 

3218
02:11:27,746 --> 02:11:30,983
SIDE, THAT IDEAL THAT YOU RAISED

3219
02:11:30,983 --> 02:11:32,150
ABOUT THE RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

3220
02:11:32,150 --> 02:11:35,387
IS REALLY INTERESTING. WE DID 

3221
02:11:35,387 --> 02:11:36,989
PURSUE THAT . IT IS TOUGH, THERE

3222
02:11:36,989 --> 02:11:40,158
IS NO DOUBT AN INTERIM PERIOD, 

3223
02:11:40,158 --> 02:11:43,161
HARD FOR BUSINESSES TO MANAGE . 

3224
02:11:43,161 --> 02:11:45,397
I HAVE HEARD BUSINESSES THAT 

3225
02:11:45,397 --> 02:11:47,833
WERE ON THE PRECIPICE OF DOING 

3226
02:11:47,833 --> 02:11:51,236
SOME OTHER BIG CHANGE, EXPANSION

3227
02:11:51,236 --> 02:11:53,505
OR POTENTIALLY MOVING INTO A NEW

3228
02:11:53,505 --> 02:11:54,172
NEIGHBORHOOD. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS

3229
02:11:54,172 --> 02:11:56,441
WORK OUT THE WAY AT A COMMUNITY 

3230
02:11:56,441 --> 02:11:58,343
LEVEL , BUT FOR THE BUSINESSES, 

3231
02:11:58,343 --> 02:12:08,820

OTHER AGENCY PARTNERS ARE 

3414
02:18:55,393 --> 02:18:58,563

3415
02:18:58,563 --> 02:18:59,397
BUSINESS OUTREACH WHEN IT COMES

02:19:06,071 --> 02:19:06,938
WANTED TO TURN TO OUR PARTNERS

AT SOUND TRANSIT AND SAY, ARE 

3420
02:19:08,406 --> 02:19:09,240
THE STRATEGIES YOU ARE ALREADY 

3421
02:19:09,240 --> 02:19:10,675
TAKING, LOOKING TO MAKE SURE 

3422
02:19:10,675 --> 02:19:12,811
THAT ALL OF THE SUPPORT YOU 

3423
02:19:12,811 --> 02:19:15,880
ALREADY HAVE AVAILABLE , TO MAKE

3424
02:19:15,880 --> 02:19:18,950
SURE IT IS CLEAR AND NAVIGABLE 

3425
02:19:18,950 --> 02:19:21,519
FOR OUR SMALL BUSINESSES? I 

3426
02:19:21,519 --> 02:19:23,154
WOULD LOVE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT 

3427
02:19:23,154 --> 02:19:24,656
THAT. 

3428
02:19:24,656 --> 02:19:27,325
>> I WILL START WITH THAT, THE 

3429
02:19:27,325 --> 02:19:30,962
PROCESS STARTS EARLY , WE 

3430
02:19:30,962 --> 02:19:31,896
BELIEVE, THE LINES OF 

3431
02:19:31,896 --> 02:19:35,333
COMMUNICATION, WE REACH OUT 

3432
02:19:35,333 --> 02:19:38,436
EARLY AND OFTEN AND START THE 

3433
02:19:38,436 --> 02:19:40,905
OPEN LINES OF THE MEDICATION. 

3434
02:19:40,905 --> 02:19:42,874
THEY HAVE CREATED THESE 

3435
02:19:42,874 --> 02:19:44,943
OPPORTUNITIES FOR QUIET, I THINK

3436
02:19:44,943 --> 02:19:48,446
WE RECOGNIZE THAT AND THERE WAS 

3437
02:19:48,446 --> 02:19:50,515
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO FIGURE 

3438
02:19:50,515 --> 02:19:52,150
OUT HOW WE CAN CREATE REGULAR 

3439
02:19:52,150 --> 02:19:55,120
DIALOGUE , THAT IS 

3440
02:19:55,120 --> 02:19:55,954
TIME-CONSUMING, REGULAR 

3441
02:19:55,954 --> 02:19:57,689
INFORMATION THAT CAN BE PROVIDED

3442
02:19:57,689 --> 02:20:00,558
TO THOSE BUSINESSES. THERE IS 

3443
02:20:00,558 --> 02:20:02,861
ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT FOR THE 

3444
02:20:02,861 --> 02:20:06,231
TOOLS, WE HAVE ONLINE OUR 

3445
02:20:06,231 --> 02:20:08,333
RELOCATION MANUALS , THAT GUIDE 

3446
02:20:08,333 --> 02:20:10,201
SMALL BUSINESSES AND PROPERTY 

3447
02:20:10,201 --> 02:20:12,036
OWNERS THROUGH THE STEPS. THAT 

3448
02:20:12,036 --> 02:20:14,539
INFORMATION IS TRADITIONAL 

3449
02:20:14,539 --> 02:20:17,242
FORMAT. THERE COULD BE OTHER 

3450
02:20:17,242 --> 02:20:20,645
WAYS TO PROMOTE THE WORK TO THE 

3451
02:20:20,645 --> 02:20:22,747
PROJECT TEAMS AND WHO ARE MORE 

3452
02:20:22,747 --> 02:20:24,816
ON THE GROUND IN THOSE EARLY 

3453
02:20:24,816 --> 02:20:28,520
PHASES. THROUGH OTHER TYPES OF 

3454
02:20:28,520 --> 02:20:31,556
MEDIA MAKING SURE IT IS 

3455
02:20:31,556 --> 02:20:32,657
MULTILINGUAL AND THAT IS 

3456
02:20:32,657 --> 02:20:35,326
ASSESSABLE. PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR 

3457
02:20:35,326 --> 02:20:38,062
WITH FEET ON THE GROUND , GOING 

3458
02:20:38,062 --> 02:20:41,299
DOOR TO DOOR, YOU HAVE DONE THIS

3459
02:20:41,299 --> 02:20:43,835
WORK. DO YOU WANT TO COMMENT

02:20:43,835 --> 02:20:44,102
FURTHER? 

3461
02:20:44,102 --> 02:20:49,741

3462
02:20:49,741 --> 02:20:50,542
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE 

3463
02:20:50,542 --> 02:20:51,676
PARTICIPANTS AT THIS ROUNDTABLE 

3464
02:20:51,676 --> 02:20:52,677
ABOUT HOW WE CAN BETTER 

3465
02:20:52,677 --> 02:20:55,380
COMMUNICATE WITH THEM AND HOW WE

3466
02:20:55,380 --> 02:20:58,149
CAN KEEP THEM INFORMED ABOUT 

3467
02:20:58,149 --> 02:21:01,319
WHERE WE ARE IN THIS SILENCE. 

3468
02:21:01,319 --> 02:21:04,522
AND, BY WORKING WITH THEM 

3469
02:21:04,522 --> 02:21:06,624
DIRECTLY , WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO 

3470
02:21:06,624 --> 02:21:08,326
COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS ABOUT 

3471
02:21:08,326 --> 02:21:11,996
HOW WE CAN GET MORE SPECIFIC AND

3472
02:21:11,996 --> 02:21:13,198
GENERAL INFORMATION TO THE 

3473
02:21:13,198 --> 02:21:17,001

PEOPLE WHO ARE SUBJECT MATTER 

3478
02:21:28,713 --> 02:21:30,715
EXPERTS IN A ROOM READY TO

02:21:30,715 --> 02:21:31,716
ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO 

3480
02:21:31,716 --> 02:21:35,920
HAVE GENERAL QUESTIONS OR 

3481
02:21:35,920 --> 02:21:37,322
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR 

3482
02:21:37,322 --> 02:21:40,658
OWN RELOCATION, OR JUST A 

3483
02:21:40,658 --> 02:21:41,893
GENERAL SENSE OF WHAT WE ARE 

3484
02:21:41,893 --> 02:21:44,262
DOING WITH RELOCATION AND THE 

3485
02:21:44,262 --> 02:21:47,599
PROJECT. THAT WAS SOMETHING I 

3486
02:21:47,599 --> 02:21:49,100
FOUND INTERESTING , A LOT OF 

3487
02:21:49,100 --> 02:21:51,369
TIMES IN MY POSITION I AM NOT A 

3488
02:21:51,369 --> 02:21:52,570
BOOT ON THE GROUND, I AM NOT 

3489
02:21:52,570 --> 02:21:53,605
ABLE TO BE FACE-TO-FACE WITH 

3490
02:21:53,605 --> 02:21:54,939
PEOPLE WHO HAVE LEGITIMATE 

3491
02:21:54,939 --> 02:21:56,908
CONCERNS AND THAT IS WHERE I 

3492
02:21:56,908 --> 02:21:58,710
WANT TO BE ABLE TO BRIDGE THAT 

3493
02:21:58,710 --> 02:22:01,446
GAP BETWEEN THE PROJECT AND THE 

3494
02:22:01,446 --> 02:22:03,681
SILENT . BUT ALSO ANSWER 

3495
02:22:03,681 --> 02:22:08,052
QUESTIONS FOR WHAT IS A DIRECT 

3496
02:22:08,052 --> 02:22:11,289
CONCERNING IMPACT WHILE YOU ARE 

3497
02:22:11,289 --> 02:22:13,558
RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS AND TRYING

3498
02:22:13,558 --> 02:22:16,761
TO TO MITIGATE THE CONCERNS YOU 

3499
02:22:16,761 --> 02:22:21,132
HAVE WITH SOME OF THE IMPACTS WE

3500
02:22:21,132 --> 02:22:28,640
ARE MAKING. 

3501
02:22:28,640 --> 02:22:29,240
>> AM I ABLE TO MAKE A QUICK 

3502
02:22:29,240 --> 02:22:32,944
COMMENT? THANK YOU, THANK YOU, 

3503
02:22:32,944 --> 02:22:34,579
COUNCILMEMBER FOSTER FOR ASKING 

3504
02:22:34,579 --> 02:22:37,048
THOSE QUESTIONS. I AM LOOKING 

3505
02:22:37,048 --> 02:22:41,486
AND SOUND TRANSIT MEMBERS , THE 

3506
02:22:41,486 --> 02:22:44,622
MAJORITY OF THE TABLE NOT HERE, 

3507
02:22:44,622 --> 02:22:47,558
WHEN I FIRST BEGAN THIS PROCESS,

3508
02:22:47,558 --> 02:22:51,229
WHEN LAUREL AND I FIRST BEGAN 

3509
02:22:51,229 --> 02:22:53,565
THIS PROCESS, TO BE CLEAR , THAT

3510
02:22:53,565 --> 02:22:58,236
WAS NOT OUR EXPERIENCE. IN NORTH

3511
02:22:58,236 --> 02:22:59,070
DELRIDGE, THERE WERE NOT OPEN 

3512
02:22:59,070 --> 02:23:00,505
LINES OF COMMUNICATION , THERE 

3513
02:23:00,505 --> 02:23:02,106
WAS NOT AN EARLY OUTREACH 

3514
02:23:02,106 --> 02:23:04,709
PROCESS. MOST OF WHAT WE 

3515
02:23:04,709 --> 02:23:07,478
UNCOVERED IS DONE ON THE SIDE OF

3516
02:23:07,478 --> 02:23:09,881
THE SMALL BUSINESSES . A LOT OF 

3517
02:23:09,881 --> 02:23:12,283
OUR EFFORTS, NO ONE CAME TO OUR 

3518
02:23:12,283 --> 02:23:16,921
BUILDING TO DO AN ASSESSMENT OF 

3519
02:23:16,921 --> 02:23:18,389
WHETHER WE COULD BE RELOCATED IN

3520
02:23:18,389 --> 02:23:19,357
THE NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE THE 

3521
02:23:19,357 --> 02:23:22,126
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY BEGAN. THERE

3522
02:23:22,126 --> 02:23:25,496
WERE PROCESSES I HAVE READ IN 

3523
02:23:25,496 --> 02:23:28,333
THE SOUND TRANSIT 'S PROCEDURES

3524
02:23:28,333 --> 02:23:30,034
AND GUIDELINES THAT WERE NOT 

3525
02:23:30,034 --> 02:23:32,270
BOTHERED IN NORTH DELRIDGE . I 

3526
02:23:32,270 --> 02:23:37,375
THINK THAT THOSE ARE NOT -- I 

3527
02:23:37,375 --> 02:23:38,209
THINK THOSE ARE IMPORTANT 

3528
02:23:38,209 --> 02:23:39,110
PROCESSES WERE SMALL BUSINESSES,

3529
02:23:39,110 --> 02:23:40,712
KNOWING WE HAVE A MUSIC VENUE, 

3530
02:23:40,712 --> 02:23:44,315
BAR AND RESTAURANT, ALL IN ONE, 

3531
02:23:44,315 --> 02:23:47,251
OUR MUSIC SCHOOL TO RELOCATE IS 

3532
02:23:47,251 --> 02:23:50,855
NOT EASY TO PLACE IN ANOTHER 

3533
02:23:50,855 --> 02:23:52,757
NEIGHBORHOOD IN WEST SEATTLE , 

3534
02:23:52,757 --> 02:23:55,627
TALKING ABOUT DISPLACING ANOTHER

3535
02:23:55,627 --> 02:23:57,729
MUSIC SCHOOL IN JEFFERSON SQUARE

3536
02:23:57,729 --> 02:24:00,531
AS WELL. TWO OF US LOOKING FOR 

3537
02:24:00,531 --> 02:24:03,434
SPACES. THIS WAS DEFINITELY 

3538
02:24:03,434 --> 02:24:07,572
MISSED ON SOUND TRANSIT'S PART.

3539
02:24:07,572 --> 02:24:10,675
LOOKING AT NEW FACES , WHILE 

3540
02:24:10,675 --> 02:24:15,413
MOVING -- I AM HOPING THINGS 

3541
02:24:15,413 --> 02:24:16,881
WILL BE DIFFERENT, THE PROCESS 

3542
02:24:16,881 --> 02:24:19,283
OF SOUND TRANSIT , THAT WAS NOT 

3543
02:24:19,283 --> 02:24:21,719
OUR EXPERIENCE. 

3544
02:24:21,719 --> 02:24:25,757
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT 

3545
02:24:25,757 --> 02:24:27,558
AND SHARING THAT . THANK YOU TO 

3546
02:24:27,558 --> 02:24:34,065
THE SOUND TRANSIT TEAM , YOU 

3547
02:24:34,065 --> 02:24:34,866
HAVE GIVEN US OPPORTUNITY TO 

3548
02:24:34,866 --> 02:24:35,967
THINK ABOUT, I AM SURE OTHER 

3549
02:24:35,967 --> 02:24:37,035
FOLKS HEARD THAT, WHAT THAT 

3550
02:24:37,035 --> 02:24:39,404
LOOKS LIKE MOVING FORWARD . I 

3551
02:24:39,404 --> 02:24:40,705
APPRECIATE YOU SHARING THAT AND 

3552
02:24:40,705 --> 02:24:41,372
I APPRECIATE SOUND TRANSIT, YOU 

3553
02:24:41,372 --> 02:24:42,306
ARE WORKING HARD TO COLLABORATE 

3554
02:24:42,306 --> 02:24:43,808
AND FIGURE THIS OUT. I WANT TO 

3555
02:24:43,808 --> 02:24:46,044
EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION FOR 

3556
02:24:46,044 --> 02:24:46,544
THAT. THANK YOU, CHAIR. 

3557
02:24:46,544 --> 02:24:49,914

REITERATE WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID,

3565
02:25:08,533 --> 02:25:11,702
I THINK IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE 

3566
02:25:11,702 --> 02:25:12,937
CONTINUE FORWARD WITH WHAT WAS 

3567
02:25:12,937 --> 02:25:15,807
PROMISED TO VOTERS , INCLUDING 

3568
02:25:15,807 --> 02:25:19,010
BALLARD . INCLUDING THE GRAHAM 

3569
02:25:19,010 --> 02:25:23,614
STREET STATION. I KNOW THAT THIS

3570
02:25:23,614 --> 02:25:26,417
IS INCREDIBLY HARD WORK. EARLY 

3571
02:25:26,417 --> 02:25:29,921
IN MY LEGAL CAREER, I 

3572
02:25:29,921 --> 02:25:31,122
REPRESENTED PROPERTY OWNERS, 

3573
02:25:31,122 --> 02:25:33,124
BUSINESSES THAT WERE BEING 

3574
02:25:33,124 --> 02:25:35,159
RELOCATED , DISPLACED BY SOUND 

3575
02:25:35,159 --> 02:25:36,727
TRANSIT AND OTHER GOVERNMENT 

3576
02:25:36,727 --> 02:25:39,564
AGENCIES . BECAUSE OF THESE 

3577
02:25:39,564 --> 02:25:44,769
LARGE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. 

3578
02:25:44,769 --> 02:25:45,870
AND, YOU KNOW, SOUND TRANSIT'S 

3579
02:25:45,870 --> 02:25:50,808
-- THIS WORK IS INCREDIBLY HARD.

3580
02:25:50,808 --> 02:25:54,011
YOU KNOW, WE SEE THE PRESSURE ON

3581
02:25:54,011 --> 02:25:58,249
THE COST OVERRUNS , AT THE END 

3582
02:25:58,249 --> 02:25:59,417
OF THE DAY, THIS PROJECT IS AN 

3583
02:25:59,417 --> 02:26:01,052
ENORMOUS REGIONAL BENEFIT TO US.

3584
02:26:01,052 --> 02:26:05,356
WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE COST OF IT

3585
02:26:05,356 --> 02:26:07,191
ARE BORNE BY OUR SMALL 

3586
02:26:07,191 --> 02:26:09,560
BUSINESSES , BY OUR RESIDENTS 

3587
02:26:09,560 --> 02:26:13,898
BEING RELOCATED . WHEN I WAS AN 

3588
02:26:13,898 --> 02:26:15,233

3589
02:26:15,233 --> 02:26:17,335
BEING DISPLACED, FOLKS WERE 

3590
02:26:17,335 --> 02:26:18,603
NEVER BEING MADE COMPLETELY 

3591
02:26:18,603 --> 02:26:21,539
WHOLE . THE BEST YOU COULD DO IS

3592
02:26:21,539 --> 02:26:23,407
, IF YOU COULD GET CLOSE TO BE 

3593
02:26:23,407 --> 02:26:29,180
MADE WHOLE, THAT WAS A WIN. 

3594
02:26:29,180 --> 02:26:29,680
PARTICULARLY FOR SMALL 

3595
02:26:29,680 --> 02:26:30,648
BUSINESSES WHO MAY NOT HAVE 

3596
02:26:30,648 --> 02:26:34,485
OTHER RESOURCES TO HIRE 

3597
02:26:34,485 --> 02:26:35,787
EXPENSIVE ATTORNEYS TO REPRESENT

3598
02:26:35,787 --> 02:26:38,589
THEM. AND/OR WHO WERE TENANTS 

3599
02:26:38,589 --> 02:26:39,257
AND DID NOT HAVE THE SAME RATES 

3600
02:26:39,257 --> 02:26:43,461
AS PROPERTY OWNERS. I WANT TO 

3601
02:26:43,461 --> 02:26:45,396
REINFORCE THAT , I THINK IT IS 

3602
02:26:45,396 --> 02:26:53,371
CRITICAL THAT WE NOT , BUT WE 

3603
02:26:53,371 --> 02:26:54,839
NEED TO BE THOUGHTFUL OF COST, 

3604
02:26:54,839 --> 02:26:56,207
WE NOT DO SO ON THE BACKS OF OUR

3605
02:26:56,207 --> 02:26:57,808
SMALL BUSINESSES, OR OTHER FOLKS

3606
02:26:57,808 --> 02:27:00,645
BEING RELOCATED. BUT WE NEED TO 

3607
02:27:00,645 --> 02:27:03,014
CELEBRATE THE INCREDIBLE -- 

3608
02:27:03,014 --> 02:27:04,081
THERE WERE THINGS ABOUT THE 

3609
02:27:04,081 --> 02:27:07,451
FIRST PHASE THAT WERE NOT GREAT 

3610
02:27:07,451 --> 02:27:08,853
, INCLUDING THE LIGHT RAIL, ONE 

3611
02:27:08,853 --> 02:27:09,987
THING THAT WAS GREAT IS THE 

3612
02:27:09,987 --> 02:27:11,455
FORESIGHT TO HAVE THE RAINIER 

3613
02:27:11,455 --> 02:27:12,056
VALLEY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 

3614
02:27:12,056 --> 02:27:14,392
FUND AND THE LEADERSHIP OF 

3615
02:27:14,392 --> 02:27:18,763
RICHARD McIVER. NOT ONLY 

3616
02:27:18,763 --> 02:27:21,899
SUPPORTING DURING THE TIME OF 

3617
02:27:21,899 --> 02:27:23,568
CONSTRUCTION, BUT WE SEE, 20 

3618
02:27:23,568 --> 02:27:25,503
YEARS LATER , STILL SUPPORTING 

3619
02:27:25,503 --> 02:27:27,638
OUR COMMUNITY . I WANT TO 

3620
02:27:27,638 --> 02:27:29,307
HIGHLIGHT THAT, PART OF THE 

3621
02:27:29,307 --> 02:27:34,145
STRUCTURE SOME LEGAL 

3622
02:27:34,145 --> 02:27:35,179
COMPLICATIONS AND HOW TO FUND 

3623
02:27:35,179 --> 02:27:36,647
THESE THINGS AND PART OF WHAT IS

3624
02:27:36,647 --> 02:27:37,815
CRITICAL, I BELIEVE IT GOT INTO 

3625
02:27:37,815 --> 02:27:39,884
THE RECORD OF DECISION , AS PART

3626
02:27:39,884 --> 02:27:41,185
OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW 

3627
02:27:41,185 --> 02:27:43,921
PROCESS, AS I THINK ABOUT 

3628
02:27:43,921 --> 02:27:46,457
REPRESENTING DISTRICT 2, 

3629
02:27:46,457 --> 02:27:47,558
INCLUDING THE INTERNATIONAL 

3630
02:27:47,558 --> 02:27:50,294
DISTRICT, VERY CONCERNED ABOUT 

3631
02:27:50,294 --> 02:27:52,129
SMALL BUSINESS IMPACT TO THE 

3632
02:27:52,129 --> 02:27:57,401
NEIGHBORHOOD. LINK THE 

3633
02:27:57,401 --> 02:27:59,437
CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, BUT HOW 

3634
02:27:59,437 --> 02:28:01,739
CAN WE NOT SUPPORT THEM THROUGH 

3635
02:28:01,739 --> 02:28:03,074
THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND 

3636
02:28:03,074 --> 02:28:05,509
HAVE A LASTING BENEFIT AND 

3637
02:28:05,509 --> 02:28:10,648
LEGACY? MORE OF A COMMENT THAT A

3638
02:28:10,648 --> 02:28:14,285
QUESTION. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE, 

3639
02:28:14,285 --> 02:28:15,887
AS WE GO THROUGH THIS NEXT 

3640
02:28:15,887 --> 02:28:16,420
PHASE, SOMETHING LIKE THE 

3641
02:28:16,420 --> 02:28:16,954

3642
02:28:16,954 --> 02:28:20,491

3652

LIKE THE LATE COUNCILMEMBER , 

3657
02:29:00,631 --> 02:29:01,532

ROOTS IN A COMMUNITY LED 

3661
02:29:07,204 --> 02:29:11,742
ORGANIZATION AND PROCESS THAT 

3662
02:29:11,742 --> 02:29:12,943
WAS CHAMPIONED BY COMMUNITY AND 

3663
02:29:12,943 --> 02:29:15,646
CHAMPIONED AT THE ELECTED 

3664
02:29:15,646 --> 02:29:17,081
OFFICIAL LEVEL BY THIS MAN RIGHT

02:29:25,222 --> 02:29:28,626
COUNCILMEMBER WHO HAPPENED TO BE

3669

BLACK, PROUD TO STAND ON THE 

3670
02:29:31,128 --> 02:29:32,897
SHOULDERS OF GIANTS, WHO HAVE 

3671
02:29:32,897 --> 02:29:36,233
PAVED THE WAY IN SACRIFICE SO 

3672
02:29:36,233 --> 02:29:41,772

TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HIM, NEVER 

3678
02:29:54,618 --> 02:29:56,053
GOT A CHANCE TO MEET HIM 

3679
02:29:56,053 --> 02:29:57,321
PERSONALLY, UNFORTUNATELY, I DID

3680
02:29:57,321 --> 02:30:01,726
CALL UP SOME OF MY CLOSE MENTORS

3681
02:30:01,726 --> 02:30:05,262

WHEEL, ALL THIS IS IS A 2026 

3687
02:30:22,246 --> 02:30:24,081
ITERATION OF A PROBLEM THAT 

3688
02:30:24,081 --> 02:30:26,016
STARTED IN OUR REGION IN THE 

3689
02:30:26,016 --> 02:30:28,853
LATE 1990s . THIS IS THE LATEST 

3690
02:30:28,853 --> 02:30:30,988
IMPLEMENTATION OF IT. WE KNOW 

3691
02:30:30,988 --> 02:30:34,258
THAT IT DIRECTLY IMPACTED, 

3692
02:30:34,258 --> 02:30:36,327
UNLIKE CL -- SOUTHEAST SEATTLE 

3693
