Sometime next year, Seattle voters may be asked to endorse an aerial waterfront park, to replace the views that travelers now enjoy on the doomed Alaskan Way Viaduct.
Campaigners filed enough petition signatures last month to put Initiative 123, to create an autonomous public-development authority, on the ballot. On Monday, the Seattle City Council received certification of the initiative.
Supporters are promising a 1-mile, 6-acre “garden bridge,” incorporating a reinforced block of the old viaduct into a new, 45-foot-wide structure.
Initiative 123, “Park My Viaduct”
The path to the ballot:
• July 17- King County Elections certifies that I-123 is qualified, by exceeding 20,638 valid signatures.
