Allied Arts was briefed by WSDOT and SDOT in February, March and May of this year on the Tunnel Alignment | Portal Design work in progress.  In April, we forwarded a letter which is available here.

Allied Arts commends WSDOT, the City of Seattle and the Federal Highway Administration for their initial work to analyze the environmental impacts regarding changes to the downtown Seattle waterfront...

Allied Arts asked members of the greater Seattle architectural design community to produce visions and renderings of what the Seattle Waterfront could become without the Alaskan Way Viaduct and prioritized as a place for people, not just a transportation corridor. Below are some of the highlights that illustrate the major themes from the collaborative. 

"Allied Arts challenged conventional wisdom years ago to save the Pike Place Market—we need them again today to lead Seattle by advocating for a great waterfront."
