I moved to pass the council bill. 1219881. Is there a second? I think it's been moved and seconded to pass the bill. Councilmember was a sponsor. You are recognized in order to address this item. Nike Council President Anthony Clarke stated, I'll just be a little bit more brief. This legislative legislation, as I share this morning, does authorize the mayor to execute an agreement with Arena CO to coordinate design and construction of street improvements and pedestrian and bike improvements. Arena CO, as I shared this morning, is responsible for contributing $594,000 of the estimated total cost of 990,000. For the improvement the Seattle Department of Transportation would fund the balance of the cost of the project's approximately 396,000 to a credit to the street use that arena CO would otherwise owe for the redevelopment project. Arena CO is expected to owe a total of approximately 3.5 million in street use fees associated with the project, and the MTA requires that the credited fee only be used for the design and construction of the transit improvements. Additionally, the Memorandum of Agreement specifies that Arena Comb would install a set of additional improvements for escort. The additional improvements include, and I just have five of them here, briefly raised driveways and concrete barriers for protected bicycle lanes, green bicycle boxes, new signage at signalized intersections, comma, street bicycle and signal improvements, and a curb extension on the northwest corner of Thomas Street and First Avenue North. In total restaurant staff estimate the combined street use of the credits of $841,000 resulting from the proposed MLA for installation of both the transit improvements and the additional. Improvement. Field. This code assumes the 15 zero four 100 allows for the escort director to credit up to 300,000 and use fees from an individual project in exchange for voluntary transportation. Improvement of equal value credits above this amount must be approved by Seattle City Council and Council authorization would be granted through passage. Of this bill. Council Bill. 119881.
