Campus Master Plan Update 3

Campus Master Plan update for 2019 January Newsletter

On Monday afternoon, Dec. 10. The Seattle city council unanimously adopted the UW鈥檚 2018 Campus Master plan for growth. During this months-long process, the City heard concerns from聽the broader Seattle聽community and attached significant conditions (requirements) and requests (suggestions) to the approval of the 2018 91探花Campus Master plan. These include:

  • Require 91探花to provide 150 Affordable Housing Units for faculty and staff earning less than 60% AMI
  • Require 91探花to provide 300 additional Affordable Housing Units for faculty and staff earning less than 80% AMI
  • Require 91探花to lower the parking cap from 12,300 spaces to 9,000 spaces
  • Require that the Drive Alone / Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) rate will be reduced to:
    • 15% 1 year after opening of the Northgate Light Rail Station,
    • 13% after opening of the Lynnwood Light Rail Station
    • 12% by 2028.
  • Require that the Burke-Gilman Trail separation improvements be accomplished by 2024.
  • Request that childcare be incorporated in to affordable housing
  • Request for 91探花to study and pursue a childcare voucher program
  • Request for more bicycle parking facilities in areas where demand is high

The 91探花Regents will meet on February 14th 2019 to discuss their response to the 鈥渃onditioned鈥� approval of the 2018 Campus Master Plan.聽 聽The Professional Staff organization is following this process closely and especially watching the Regents response to the conditioning of a lower SOV rate as this will likely affect investments in non-driving commute mode shares such as active transportation and the 91探花Transit 鈥淯-Pass鈥� program. Any change in investments and incentives to these programs are likely to have impacts on how professional staff choose to get to campus. Historical聽 91探花Transportation survey data shows that聽when UPASS rates were lower, more staff chose transit to get to/from campus.聽 聽It is also notable that some Unionized 91探花employees will have a free UPASS starting July 1, 2019.
