- updates to the “living building” program requirements;
- authorizing SDOT to acquire an easement for redirecting Olive Way during the Convention Center expansion project;
- an ordinance making changes to how SDOT allows people to pay for parking, including “pay by plate.”
Monday afternoon the Seattle Park District Board meets; all nine City Council members are also Parks Board members. The agenda includes a review of 2017 activities and financial performance, and a briefing on the upcoming update to the Strategic Plan.
This week’s Introduction and Referral Calendar includes two items:
