Sound Transit is also conducting environmental review on a future extension between Overlake and downtown Redmond. In May 2009, the Sound Transit Board of Directors identified a preferred East Link alternative with eastside stations serving Mercer Island, south Bellevue, downtown Bellevue, Bel-Red, Overlake, and downtown Redmond, connecting to Seattle via I-90. By 2030, East Link will connect the Eastside’s biggest population and employment centers, serving 40,000 – 45,000 daily riders on one of the region’s most congested travel corridors. Since the Eastside is one of the region’s fastest growing economic and residential centers, the job and population growth is putting increasing demand on the Eastside’s transportation system. East Link will provide an alternative to driving on congested roads. Because light rail trains operate in their own right-of-way, they provide fast, smooth, and reliable service no matter the weather or traffic conditions. East Link will also connect directly to the Central Link light rail line, currently running between downtown Seattle and the Sea-Tac Airport. Sound Transit is currently conducting an environmental review of the East Link project in order to understand the environmental impacts of the proposed project, as required by the National and State Environmental Policy Acts (NEPA/ SEPA). Sound Transit is advancing the design of the preferred alternative, which includes modifications that the Sound Transit Board identified. The East Link Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will evaluate the preferred alternative and each of the alternatives identified in the Draft EIS.

  • East Link Light Rail
    East Link light rail Segment C: Downtown Bellevue July 2011 Segment Details Segment C serves downtown Bellevue with alternatives running from approximately SE 6th and NE 12th Streets. Sound Transit evaluated 10 alternatives in the 2011 Final Environmental Impact C9T Statement (FEIS). C11A There are two preferred alternatives in this segment: a cut-and- cover tunnel along 110th Avenue NE (C9T) and an at-grade alignment on 108th Avenue NE (C11A). C9T begins on the east side of 112th Avenue SE, then transitions C9T C11A to the west side at SE 6th Street before turning west into a tunnel C9T portal on Main Street. C9T then turns north under 110th Avenue C11A NE to the Bellevue Transit Center Station at NE 4th Street. C9T turns east at NE 6th Street and exits the tunnel portal, transitions to an elevated profile in the center of NE 6th Street, and then crosses to the north side of NE 6th Street to pass over 112th Avenue NE, I-405, and 116th Avenue NE to the elevated Hospital Station in the former BNSF Railway corridor. C11A begins on the east side of 112th Avenue SE, then travels C9T & C11A on the south side of Main Street in a retained cut to the 108th Station and turns north at-grade over Main Street to the center of 108th Avenue NE. At NE 6th Street, C11A turns east in the center of the street to the at-grade Bellevue Transit Center Station.

  • Creating Connections
    PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT The legislation that established the Regional Advisory Council (RAC) described several expectations for the group’s work, including • Coordinate planning and development activities to the extent possible to ensure effective use of the southern portion of the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC) and the Redmond Spur. • Oversee the partner planning process including implementing and coordinating the trail, high-capacity transit, and utility uses in the ERC. • Coordinating with affected cities around local planning and development. • Address both near-term and long-term recommendations. • Recommend any needed changes to the county’s countywide planning policies. • Reach out to a broad spectrum of stakeholders. This report provides a summary of the RAC’s work to accomplish those objectives, and identifies actions necessary to continue this collaborative approach among the owners. The report begins by describing the RAC’s vision for the corridor, the history of the ERC, and the process used by the RAC to develop these recommendations. In the subsequent chapters the report • Details the current conditions in the corridor, broken into five planning segments. It describes current uses adjacent to the corridor, the major constraints that will need to be resolved (pinch points, steep slopes, narrow trestles, etc.), opportunities for connections (trails, high-capacity transit, parks, utility corridors, etc.), and any significant plans of neighboring communities that could impact the corridor. • Presents several Principles developed by the RAC to guide more detailed recommendations. • Makes recommendations divided into several sections: Creation of a regional legacy for future generations, outlining plans to promote the corridor as a regional spine for mobility and economic development, be developed to capture local culture, history, and scenic values, and reflect the values of public health, public safety, equity and social justice, and sustainability.
