Downtown Bus + Rail Planning: Redmond Needs your Feedback
Join us for a public meeting, Jan. 26, 6-8pm at Redmond City Hall
Redmond is preparing for the extension of light rail to Downtown by conducting a bus-rail transit integration study. The study will recommend how best to integrate light rail transit into Downtown Redmond so that light rail is safely, conveniently and efficiently accessible by transit, walking, and biking, while accommodating vehicle access for pickup and drop-off.
The study will recommend a preliminary preferred station area concept for the Downtown Redmond light rail station. The preferred concept will maximize station access to increase mobility and grow transit ridership while minimizing the station footprint in order to limit the impacts on other land uses and activities in Downtown.
The City needs community input on bus + rail planning to inform Sound Transit's Downtown light rail station area design. Where should the station be located? Should it be at street level or elevated? Your feedback will help us as we work to optimize accessibility to the future light rail station and other areas around Downtown Redmond.
