FRIDAY FORUM - 520 BRIDGE UPDATES
The SR 520 bridge has been in the news a lot recently! So what's going on? For starters, the mediation process is just getting started. In fact, the mediation team which includes our very own Rob Johnson was announced last Friday. In addition, 520 bridge replacement project was selected to receive nearly $139 million in federal funding for transit improvements and a pilot tolling project through the Lake Washington Urban Partnership (Partners include King County, the Puget Sound Regional Council and the Washington State Department of Transportation). Plans are underway for a health impact assessment - the first of its kind in the country for a highway mega project!
So join us at our September Friday Forum and hear from our expert panel about what's going on with the 520 bridge.
