This is Seattle’s priciest transportation levy proposal ever.
The fate of a massive Seattle transportation levy will be decided by voters in November. On Wednesday, Mayor Bruce Harrell signed into law the legislation that will place the $1.55 billion transportation levy on the election ballot."We are rebuilding this city in so many ways to reach all communities to keep them safe," said Harrell during a signing event at City Hall. "We’re giving people choices centered around the value of safety.
City leaders and community advocates say they recognize the price hike is asking a lot from voters."But when we give people the facts, I firmly believe that when we explain what the need is and what the investments are, people will agree that voting yes to ‘Move Seattle’ is indeed the only reasonable option," said Garrow. City leaders said the levy would also expand Seattle Department of Transportation’s budget.
