REQUESTED ACTION:
☐ Receive Information ☐ Provide Direction ☒ Approve
REQUEST RATIONALE:
• Relevant Plans/Policies:
Transportation Master Plan
• Required:
None
• Council Request:
N/A
• Other Key Facts:
Sound Transit and Redmond have overlapping infrastructure on the Station site. This agreement is critical and necessary as assets are opened to the public.
OUTCOMES:
Redmond and Sound Transit will agree upon operation and maintenance responsibilities for the future Overlake Village Light Rail Station assets. This agreement is required to be in place for:
- Redmond to take ownership of City assets currently under construction including the Overlake Village Station Pedestrian Bicycle Bridge and artwork, the Overlake Village Stormwater Infiltration Vault, and DaVinci Avenue
- Sound Transit to complete construction, operate, and maintain Station elements that overlap with the DaVinci Avenue right of way
COMMUNITY/STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH AND INVOLVEMENT:
• Timeline (previous or planned):
2018-Present
• Outreach Methods and Results:
Staff from each public works functional area and transportation maintenance and engineering were involved in reviewing the Overlake Village Station Operations and Maintenance Agreement. The Transit Way Agreement enables components of the Operations and Maintenance Agreement to be implemented and therefore relied on the Overlake Village Station Operations and Maintenance Agreement process for staff outreach.
• Feedback Summary:
City staff would prefer not to utilize the Sound Transit track access process which adds Sound Transit permitting requirements for City maintenance of City assets on Sound Transit property. However, staff recognize the requirements are placed on Sound Transit by federal railroad rules and that the City assets, such as the Overlake Village Pedestrian Bicycle Bridge, are important and worth maintaining even with the additional requirements.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Total Cost:
Owning and maintaining City assets at the Overlake Village Station site, such as the Overlake Village Pedestrian Bridge and DaVinci Avenue, will have maintenance costs. Details will be included in upcoming budget requests.
