REQUEST RATIONALE:
• Relevant Plans/Policies:
Transportation Master Plan
• Required:
None
• Council Request:
N/A
• Other Key Facts:
The Overlake Village light rail station site that Sound Transit is building includes interrelated Sound Transit and City of Redmond infrastructure. Redmond paid Sound Transit to build two projects on the site, the Overlake Village Pedestrian Bicycle Bridge and the Overlake Village Stormwater Infiltration Vault, benefiting both the station and the surrounding transportation and stormwater systems. In addition, Sound Transit will dedicate the DaVinci Avenue roadway and right of way to the City. This roadway provides access to the station and will also include Sound Transit elements adjacent to, and within, the right of way. Together, Redmond and Sound Transit are partnering to construct, operate, and maintain, a station site that maximizes multimodal transportation use and stormwater function.
OUTCOMES:
Council approval of each of the Overlake Village light rail station agreements will complete the remaining Council authorizations necessary to open and maintain:
- City assets currently under construction which include the Overlake Village Station Pedestrian Bicycle Bridge and artwork, the Overlake Village Stormwater Infiltration Vault, and DaVinci Avenue; and
- Sound Transit assets at the Overlake Village Station 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 recognizes 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.
