Approve the rebased Green Line core and financial framework

Transit & transportation · Jul 30, 2024

What changed

Council advanced a revised first phase from Eau Claire to Lynnwood/Millican and approved additional capital and municipal funding directions.

City Clerk's Council and Committee Votes · reviewed Oct 29, 2026

Why this decision is included

A binding programme-and-funding rebase provides a rail-investment choice. Related referrals and project stages do not add independent points.

How votes are grouped: This proposal is one decision family. Its readings, amendments and contextual votes cannot create additional independent evidence; an unscored proposal contributes no weight.

What Yes meant

Approve the revised core scope and funding package.

What No meant

Reject this revised scope and financial package; a No may concern its cost or scope rather than rail in general.

Alternatives and outcome

Advance the revised phase, seek a different scope or financing arrangement, or decline the package.

Council approved the revised program package, subject to intergovernmental funding requirements. Later wind-down and replacement-program decisions are separate events.

adopted
A recorded vote or adoption does not establish that a project or service was delivered.

Reviewed policy choice
Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction.
