Details on the Capitol Hill station construction mitigation. Sound Transit spends a lot of money, in this case $610,000, on construction mitigation for businesses around projects, and the Capitol Hill station is smack in the center of a major business district. Sound Transit will even have a full-time staff working in the Capitol Hill Chamber of Commerce office.
The article details a lot of the potential problems that might surface, especially the part around hauling truck-fulls of dirt down Olive Way.
24-hour hotline? I wonder if that will be a real person or a leave-a-message sort of thing.
They should go up to Vancouver and find out what they’re doing for the Canada Line.
Then do the total opposite since Cambie is a total nightmare.
That’s what I have heard, too. Sound Transit is pretty rare in having these mitigation funds.
Did Rainier Valley get one of these?
Rainier Valley got one to the tune of $50 million.
