Councilmember Rob Johnson (District 4, Northeast Seattle) issued the following statement following the announcement that the North Precinct Police Station project will be revisited:
“I fully believe that the decision to forego the current $149M design for the new North Precinct is more than prudent. As I’ve stated before, $149M is far too large a sum for one building.
“I continue to look forward to the use of the Racial Equity Toolkit’s incorporation into the next design of the new North Precinct, as well as using this facility as a pilot for the City Capital Projects Oversight Committee that Councilmember Herbold and I called for back in August.”
