City of Seattle release:
City Inside/Out with C.R. Douglas looks at the latest news about the tunnel replacing the Alaskan Way Viaduct, including concerns about cost overruns. Guests include Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata, Ivar’s Bob Donegan and architect Mark Reddington

As the bidding gets underway to build a tunnel to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct, a political debate rages over who will be responsible for potential cost overruns. Mayor Mike McGinn says he won't sign agreements with the state until the legislature guarantees that it will pay for any cost overruns. The majority of the Seattle City Council says it's time to proceed with the project.

The show includes footage from the recent heated exchange between Mayor McGinn and Governor Christine Gregoire at the Alaskan Way Viaduct Program Oversight Committee. We’ll also explore concerns about the future of Seattle’s waterfront and the design plans for the tunnel’s portals. Joining host C.R. Douglas in the studio are Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata, Ivar's CEO Bob Donegan and Mark Reddington, Principal, LMN Architects.
