The report of the Sustainability and Transportation Committee Agenda Item 12 Clerk filed 314304 petition of Swedish Health Services for the vacation of the Alien BLOCK 95 Teri Second Edition to the City of Seattle. The committee recommends the full council grant the application as conditioned. Thank you, Councilmember O'Brien. Thank you. So this is part of the expansion for Swedish Hospital. This plant on First Hill, it's part of the plans that were included in the major institution master plan, which came to the council recently. The alley in question is and it goes to the property bordered by between Columbia and Cherry and Miner and Boren. The Swedish hospital did a great job, in my view, of working with the local community to determine a set of public benefits that both met the local communities needs and I think the needs of more broadly of the city of Seattle. It's a good example of public benefits provided offsite, which is also more feasible because of Swedish the expanse of the campus. A couple examples of the projects that are included in the public benefit. You can see them all if you go into the documents. One is completing the what's called the first hill mile. This is a kind of walking circuit that the neighborhood has identified as part of their neighborhood plans. It's basically what Swedish would be doing would be upgrading the sidewalks, signage, curb cuts, those types of things for street frontages both adjacent to this project, but also stretches beyond Swedish Hospital into the neighborhood to make a nice one mile loop that people could walk on in the neighborhood. And also folks that are staying in Swedish or recovering it Swedish could use. There's also public art locations and access points on the project. I'm also wanted to say that I'm excited to be supporting Swedish for variety of reasons, including the fact that my kids were born there. And but they've also done a lot of great work to show their continued commitment to our community, including recently updating their charity care program, which serves as a national model for really doing work the way a nonprofit hospital should be doing. I also just want to say that during the comments at the committee, we had representatives of the first Hill neighborhood come in, speak directly to how excited they are for the public benefit that's coming. And so it's it's great when you have kind of community unanimity around a process like this. It makes our job easier. I will be happy to support this. Thank you. Councilmember Bryan, any further comments or questions? Those in favor of granting the petition as to please vote i. I. Those oppose vote no.
