If part of the Transportation Seattle Public Utilities Committee. Agenda Item one Council Bill one 2271 related to John Lewis Memorial Bridge, constructed under the Seattle Department of Transportation's North Gate Bridge and Cycle Track Project, excepting the North Gate Easement Agreement granted by the State of Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges on behalf of North Seattle College, dated February 28, 2019. The Committee recommends the bill pass. Thank you, Madam Clerk. So was I supposed to say read the short title or did you read the whole thing? I read the short title. Good. Thank you, Mr. Councilmember Peterson. Thank you. Council President, colleagues. Council Bill 120271 finalizes the various easements and agreements between our Seattle Department of Transportation and the Washington State Department of Transportation, North Seattle College, and Sound Transit for the maintenance of the John Lewis Memorial Bridge. As we know, that new bridge enables bikes and pedestrians to safely cross over I-5 to connect with the North Gate Transit Hub Industrial Site. Our committee unanimously recommended approval of this council bill. Thank you. So is there anything anyone would like to say in regards to Council Bill 1202712. Councilmember Peterson. Well, I have a few things to say just briefly without going into too much detail. I just an update. I know I don't sit in your committee, Casper Peterson, but this has been a long time coming, getting this done, I think since like 2016. And right now we're right in the end, the tail end of getting four major signs put up on the bridge for the John Lewis Bridge. And they will be interpretive with phenomenal quotes of Congressman Lewis. And we're working with Washed Out to get a actual sign on the road where people can look up and see the brown historical sign that says John Lewis Bridge so that it's official title. I want to thank Parks and also Northfield College and washed out because they've been working with this with this with us on this for a long time and sound transit so we could have the bridge we could name the bridge, but more importantly, that we could have something in to recognize. Congressman Lewis. And, you know, it really was a testament of parks coming through to take over that land and make sure they maintain the wetlands and the marshlands and redirect redesigning the project and the bridge. So they had a better ark to it and more. And why more what what more widen. So we could have strollers and runners and bikes and baby strollers or more people walking. Not just bikes, nothing against bikes, but everybody's bridge. So that's what we wanted it to be. So I'm glad this is finally done. So thank you. Anyone else. Hey. So. Will the clerk please call the role of the passage of the bill? Let's remember Peterson. Yes. Councilmember Salon? Yes. Councilmember Strauss. Yes. Councilmember Herbold. Yes. Councilmember Morales. Yes. Councilmember Moschella. I. Councilmember Nelson. I know Council President Flores. I age in favor and unopposed. Thank you, Madam Clerk. The bill passes and the chair will sign it. Will the clerk please affix my signature to the legislation or the ordinance on my behalf? Thank you. Moving on to the what else we have here. Adoption of other resolutions. There are no other resolutions for introduction or adoption today. Other business. Is there any other business to be to come before Seattle City Council today, councilmember strauss.
