The Port of Everett has already Indicated willingness to match the state with 1.9 million dollars for the of the intersectioni0is one million dollarsTrZe estate fortitS t.is expectede that the City of Everett would match that 50%. Councilman Morrow referred to a resolution adopted in December, 1985 which he said established policies on Navy Homeport Traffic Corridors in Everett. He said there aresix items listed, the •[ north south route with elevated roadway by Scott Paper, eliminating 19th St.a ac route to the base onthe.waterfront,that the Taff and council would work with all the neighborhoods to mitigate impacts, construction impacts would be considered and minlmired, consideration should be given to a one-way grid system on Everett and Pacific Bvenues and the CityCouncil desired the best possible route at anaffordable cost exclusive of any direct city cash outlay. He said the council had not talked with the neighbors along 37th St. He felt this would be a major corridor to the navy base and discussion had been held to keep the traffic going through the downtown area so that the businesses could received some benefit from it. He said the overlay funds were in the general fund and the resolution said there would no outlay of Cash funds. He Telt this w s In conflict with the resolution adopted in 1985 and it should be repealer{prior to any action today. Councilmen Stephenson said the council was aware that there were ld streets that the federal government and navy wou responsible ford here that they wouldn't be. The budget committee reviewed this and knew there was some three million dollars in the Street overlay Fund that will b re-directed over the next several years dealing with transportation routee outside corridor.rridor. He said he uses 37th St. and there isre and more traffic on the street. The north-south alternative that was discussed dealt with the realization that 37th would have to be Improved to insure that there would not be so much traffic an 41st St.that the citizens would not stand for it. He did not think the I request before the council today was inconsistent with the resolution. The overlay funds have been there and have been � dispersed In various rays,whatever was needed. If the funds were not there,the City would probably have to go co unCilmanlc bonds to pay for the street and that would be etting away from the intent T what the council committed to the citizens, that nothing would be passed on to them is pay far a transportation route 11 Pat McClain said there has been no design work on any of the etreets shown in connection e request today is only to show the city's to Math funds on 7th St.I 11 ,I
