BACKGROUND Final design for the TUC Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge is underway. Right -of -way is needed along the project in order to construct the proposed improvements. In December 2014, the Transportation Committee discussed design revisions studied as part of the Supplemental Type, Size, and Location Report. The original design of the western trail approach to the new bridge was not in an acceptable location to the affected property owner of the Riverview Plaza office park. With the new design, the western trail approach will use a portion of the existing Green River Trail and the bridge location will be north of the original design. In both cases, a full take of the single family home at 16113 West Valley Highway, on the east side of the Green River must be completed to accommodate the bridge landing and ADA accessible ramps. DISCUSSION Due to the need for further analysis, the project has been delayed approximately a year, including completion of studies necessary to obtain the environmental permits. In order to complete the Cultural Resources inventory, access to the single family home at 16113 West Valley Highway is critical. Currently the property owner is denying access to the site. Additional right -of -way will be necessary from parcels on the west side of the Green River, however the design is not progressed enough to have acquisition areas defined at this time. The project design will reach the 90% level in May 2015 and the bid will be advertised later in the year with construction occurring in 2016. The details are shown in the following table with approximate property square footage: Parcel No. 000580 -0033 'Owners j ROW Required (SF) Nelsen Historical Trust 12,35E sf (full parcel) The attached ordinance provides the authority to acquire the property at 16113 West Valley Highway. As with previous projects that have involved acquiring additional property, the City will do everything within its power to work cooperatively with the property owners. However, should the City not be successful in these efforts, condemnation of the property would be required. Letters have been mailed to the owners notifying them of this potential condemnation and the Council's schedule for ordinance approval. FINANCIAL IMPACT None. Once a purchase price has been negotiated and accepted, the right -of -way funds should be within the budgeted CIP project. RECOMMENDATION Council is being asked to approve the Ordinance authorizing acquisition of 16113 West Valley Highway and consider this item at the February 9, 2015 Committee of the Whole for the public hearing and subsequent February 17, 2015 Regular Meeting.

Right -of -Way Acquisition for Tukwila Urban Center Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge over Green River Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would authorize the acquisition of 16113 West Valley Highway for the Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge over the Green River Project. The currently proposed design for this project includes a western trail approach which will use a portion of the existing Green River Trail, and a single family home on this property must be removed to accommodate the bridge landing and ADA accessible ramps.
