What's Happening <h2>Review Status</h2> <p>On January 3, 2019, we reviewed the merit of and public benefit package for the Marketside Flats Skybridge.&nbsp; At this meeting we approved the merit and public benefit package for the Marketside Flats Skybridge with one condition and several recommendations.&nbsp; We will review the project again during a subcommittee.&nbsp;</p> <h2>Project Description</h2> <p>The applicant is requesting approval to retain an existing skybridge connecting the Union St streetend with a private residential development located along Western Ave. The skybridge is located above Post Alley and has existed since the original construction of the adjacent building in the early 1900's.&nbsp; Due to the grade change between upper Union St and Western Ave, the skybridge provides direct access point to downtown for residents.&nbsp; The project proposal includes no significant changes to the existing skybridge and provides a public benefit package that includes additional wayfinding, lighting, and street improvements.</p> <p></p> Project Documents <h2>January 3, 2019</h2> <ul> <li><a href="documents/Departments/OPCD/DesignCommission/MarketsideFlats/SeattleDesignCommission-2019.01.03MarketsideFlatsSkybridgePresentation.pdf">Presentation</a></li> <li><a href="documents/Departments/OPCD/DesignCommission/MarketsideFlats/SeattleDesignCommission-2019.01.03MarketsideFlatsSkybridgeMinutes.pdf">Minutes</a></li> </ul>
