Thursday, March 27 Park Shore Building The Land Use Committee will review a draft design proposal prepared by SRG Partnership in anticipation of this fall's public vote on a levy providing $80 million for infrastructure and other upgrades at Seattle's century-old Pike Place Market. If passed, approximately 85% of these levy monies would go to upgrade infrastructure that has not received any major work in over thirty years; additionally, the number of public restrooms and elevators would be increased to better serve the nearly 10 million visitors the Market welcomes each year. | ||
