  • 1 Introduction
    1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 CONTEXT OF THE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS The Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority (Sound Transit) intends to expand regional transit service in the North Corridor, connecting the existing regional transit system from the planned interim terminus of Link light rail in the Northgate neighborhood of Seattle to the city of Lynnwood in southern Snohomish County. Approved by voters as part of the Sound Transit 2 (ST2) Plan in 2008 (Sound Transit 2007a), the North Corridor Transit Project would connect to and build on the Link light rail line that opened for service between downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport in 2009, and would extend northward to serve north Seattle, Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, and the city of Lynnwood in southern Snohomish County. Construction is currently underway on a light rail extension to the University of Washington scheduled to open in 2016, followed by service to Northgate targeted in 2021. Voter-approved additions over the next few years will bring 36 new miles of service to the north, south, and east, creating a 55-mile light rail system serving the region. The North Corridor project connecting Northgate to Lynnwood is an incremental step in the implementation of the Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PSRC’s) VISION 2040 (PSRC 2009) and the Sound Transit 2005 Regional Transit Long-Range Plan (Sound Transit 2005a), both of which call for the eventual extension of high capacity transit (HCT) service north to Everett. Figure 1-1 shows the Regional Transit System plan map adopted by Sound Transit in 2008 as well as the North Corridor.

  • Guide to Art: Sounder Commuter Rail
    Sounder commuter rail Art adds interest and meaning to public places. Art celebrates the history, culture and people of a community. Art tells a story. The Sound Transit art program, STart, brings an artist’s perspective to what is mainly an engineering and architectural undertaking. Many aspects of the Sound Transit system of buses and trains are transformed by art. Community representatives help select the artists and approve the artwork. ALL STATIONS Artist-designed “Welcome Mats” serve as door markers on the station platforms. The “Welcome Mats” mark where the commuter train doors open when the train pulls into the station. The “Welcome Mat” design was derived from a late 1800’s quilt pattern called “Railroad Quilt.” KING STREET STATION The Sounder station canopy support columns feature 26 stainless steel and aluminum wind-activated sculptures. A series of articulated metal strips hanging from the pivoting vane “Welcome Mats” at a Sounder allows the artwork to not only reveal the direction of the wind but also its shape. “The brushed surface station designed by artist Jerry Mayer of the metal reflects the colors of the sky and the nearby buildings. The metaphor is one of passage, glints of light reflecting from a field of metallic grass.” Artist Ned Kahn. “Moto/motor/to move/motion- that’s the starting point”, says Jerry Mayer of his artwork “Moto,” traffic- type 4’x4’ signs covered in a range of colorful reflective material. These are attached to sixteen columns opposite the commuter rail platform. Each sign/artwork has imagery of a simple black shape made up of a combination of traffic sign symbols from arrows, crosses, “Y”s and “T”s.

  • Appendix B.Doc
    B BACKGROUND MATERIAL SECTION 2 – PLAN ADMINISTRATION GUIDELINES 2.1 Governance It is assumed for the purposes of this System Plan that the ownership of commuter rail assets throughout the State of Minnesota would be in the public interest. In other words, the citizen taxpayers of the state would own the system – specifically those commuter rail assets that are separable from the freight rail facilities, systems, equipment and/or rights-of-way that are owned by the relevant freight railroads. There are several considerations that validate the assumption of public ownership: • The public sector is the logical administrator and overseer of public transportation services provided over rights-of-way owned and operated by multiple freight rail carriers. • Public policy dictates that commuter rail service be provided within the framework of a regional and potentially statewide, publicly funded multi- modal transportation system. • The public sector is the appropriate and responsible choice as manager of the expenditure of public funding required to plan, design, construct, operate and maintain such a system. • The provision of commuter rail service is not viable without substantial public sector financing, which would not likely be available under the auspices of private ownership. The commuter rail service sponsor is the public entity or combination of entities that serves as the public’s principal agent for or overseer of such service. As such, a sponsor serves at a minimum as the lead administrator or contracting entity for all services to be provided. All commuter rail services operated throughout the nation are owned by the public sector and sponsored by one or more public agencies through a variety of intergovernmental agreements.
