Approval of Property Exchange & Development Agreement
F–8 VII. STANDING COMMITTEES B. Finance, Audit and Facilities Committee Sound Transit U District Station – Approval of Property Exchange & Development Agreement RECOMMENDED ACTION It is the recommendation of the administration and the Finance, Audit and Facilities Committee that the Board of Regents: 1. Approve entering into a Property Exchange & Development Agreement with Sound Transit to exchange University property for the air rights above the U District Station for future transit oriented development, including temporary construction and tieback easements, a permanent tunnel easement under the Social Work Building, and a condominium declaration; and 2. Delegate to the President or his designee the authority to execute all documents related to this property exchange and development. BACKGROUND Purpose and Benefit Sound Transit is building a light rail station called the U District Station (part of its Northgate Link) across from the UW Tower between NE 43rd St and NE 45th St at Brooklyn Ave NE. The light rail tunnel will go under campus beginning at the UW Station, head north and west toward 15th Avenue NE, go under the University of Washington’s Social Work Building (located on the west side of 15th Avenue NE), then head north to the U District Station on Brooklyn Avenue NE. An agreement is already in place for the light rail tunnel under the main campus (to 15th Ave NE). The U District Station (“Station”) will serve as a “front door” to the upper University of Washington (“UW”) campus and there is particular interest in how it will be developed. Sound Transit policy calls for transit oriented development (“TOD”) above the Station. -
Federal Way Link Extension Seattle, Washington New Starts Project Development (Rating Assigned November 2017)
Federal Way Link Extension Seattle, Washington New Starts Project Development (Rating Assigned November 2017) Summary Description Proposed Project: Light Rail Transit 7.8 Miles, 3 Stations Total Capital Cost ($YOE): $2,165.47 Million (Includes $109.3 million in finance charges) Section 5309 New Starts Share ($YOE): $500.00 Million (23.1%) Annual Operating Cost (opening year 2024): $20.23 Million 22,200 Daily Linked Trips Current Year Ridership Forecast (2014): 7,090,600 Annual Linked Trips 40,700 Daily Linked Trips Horizon Year Ridership Forecast (2035): 13,034,600 Annual Linked Trips Overall Project Rating: Medium-High Project Justification Rating: Medium Local Financial Commitment Rating: Medium-High Project Description: The Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) proposes to extend the Link light rail from the Angle Lake Station in the City of SeaTac, Washington south through the cities of Kent, Des Moines, and Federal Way and terminating near the existing Federal Way Transit Center. The project is planned to be fully grade- separated. The project includes construction of three new stations as well as the purchase of 20 vehicles. Service is planned to operate 20 hours a day weekdays and 18 hours on weekends, with trains every eight minutes during weekday peak periods and every ten minutes during weekday off-peak periods and on weekends. Project Purpose: The project is intended to relieve congestion, improve transit performance, and enhance mobility choice in southern King County for a significant transit-dependent population in the corridor. The existing roadway network in the corridor is constrained, with limited possibilities for expansion along the two major north-south highways through the corridor – Interstate 5 and State Route 99. -

The Guidelines set the standards by which Link and related public improvements can be evaluated during the design, permit review, and construction process. This involves two elements: 1. Ensuring that development of Link Light Rail is in keeping with sound urban design principles and the City’s expectations for each station; and 2. Directing the development of improvements to the public spaces around light rail stations and facilities, which are so integral to Link’s operation and success. -

TOD integrates housing, transit, medium- to high-density office and retail, and open space and streetscape, with less space dedicated to cars. Source: U.S. Government Accountability Office, Publication GAO 15-70 “Public Transportation, Multiple Factors Influence Extent of Transit-Oriented Development” Nov 2014 Source: U.S. Government Accountability Office, Publication GAO 15-70 “Public Transportation, Multiple Factors Influence Extent of Transit-Oriented Development” Nov 2014 Context 4 TOD The idea of TOD came about 30+ years ago, originally as a design strategy for surburban growth to balance and cluster housing, jobs, shopping and recreation within ¼ mile of mass transit. “The Pedestrian Pocket Book” A New Suburban Design Strategy, ” Calthorpe, Kelbaugh (Ed)., Princeton University Press 1989. TOD aligns perfectly with local government goals for urban growth densification, one of the key tenets of the Growth Management Act (RCW 36.070A.020), since TOD mixes commercial and residential real estate within walking distance of transit and promotes open space and a sense of community. -

PORT AUTHORITY OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT V.4.0 7/20/18 STATION DESIGN GUIDELINES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Port Authority of Allegheny County (PAAC) provides public transportation throughout Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. The Authority’s 2,600 employees operate, maintain, and support bus, light rail, incline, and paratransit services for approximately 200,000 daily riders. Port Authority is currently focused on enacting several improvements to make service more efficient and easier to use. Numerous projects are either underway or in the planning stages, including implementation of smart card technology, real-time vehicle tracking, and on-street bus rapid transit. Port Authority is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors – unpaid volunteers who are appointed by the Allegheny County Executive, leaders from both parties in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and Senate, and the Governor of Pennsylvania. The Board holds monthly public meetings. Port Authority’s budget is funded by fare and advertising revenue, along with money from county, state, and federal sources. The Authority’s finances and operations are audited on a regular basis, both internally and by external agencies. Port Authority began serving the community in March 1964. The Authority was created in 1959 when the Pennsylvania Legislature authorized the consolidation of 33 private transit carriers, many of which were failing financially. The consolidation included the Pittsburgh Railways Company, along with 32 independent bus and inclined plane companies. By combining fare structures and centralizing operations, Port Authority established the first unified transit system in Allegheny County. Participants Port Authority of Allegheny County would like to thank agency partners for supporting the Light Rail Transportation Station Guidelines, as well as those who participated by dedicating their time and expertise. -
