Viaduct Meeting Thursday - Will Consider Options

Scenarios for replacing the central part of the Alaskan Way Viaduct will be discussed Thursday, June 26, at a meeting of viaduct neighborhood representatives and other interested groups.

The meeting will be from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Bertha Landes Room of Seattle City Hall, 600 Fourth Ave. The location was changed from a previously scheduled site to accommodate larger crowds.

State Department of Transportation spokeswoman Emily Fishkin said the session will concentrate on two types of solutions: "surface and transit," in which viaduct travelers are shifted onto surface streets and into buses; and "bypass scenarios" that would retain a highway in the viaduct alignment between the Battery Street Tunnel and the Sodo area.
