Sustainability and Transportation Committee
TL;DR
The Sustainability and Transportation Committee made it easier to build accessory dwelling units (small additional homes) on single-family properties by removing zoning barriers, which could help increase housing options in Seattle. The committee also confirmed a new member to oversee the Levy to Move Seattle transportation funding and reviewed a plan for expanding bike infrastructure over the next five years.
