City Inside/Out: Proposition 1: Seawall 10/24/2012
Seattle`s central waterfront seawall is seismically vulnerable. Should voters approve a $290 million bond measure to replace part of it? Or should waterfront property owners, alone, shoulder the cost? If it passes, Proposition 1 will cost the average Seattle homeowner about $60 a year for 30 years, which critics argue is too much of a tax burden. Supporters say, however, that repairing the crumbling seawall and adjacent piers now is crucial for public safety, and any delay will jeopardize construction timing of the Alaskan Way tunnel and waterfront improvements. We hear from Seattle Aquarium CEO Bob Davidson, Seattle Department of Transportation Seawall Replacement Project Manager Jennifer Wieland and retired UW professor Earl Bell. In studio, former Seattle mayor and Central Waterfront Committee co-chair Charley Royer, and Prop. 1 opponent Christopher Brown, debate the measure. |

City Inside/Out 1/18/2008
This week's edition of City Inside/Out with C.R. Douglas takes a look at what's happening with the viaduct. In 2007, voters rejected initiatives that would have authorized either a cut-and-cover tunnel or a replacement elevated structure, and a surface street replacement is now considered most viable. Recently, Governor Chris Gregoire issued an ultimatum to tear down the viaduct in 2012, but Seattle's deputy mayor Tim Ceis says the deadline is unrealistic. Where are we, and what is going to happen next? We hear from political, business and environmental leaders about which replacement option is now considered the most viable and why. |
