ZIP code Sound Transit | Editorial and Style Guidelines | Summer 2019 | 8 Sound Transit style guidelines Sound Transit's Communications Department compiled this style guide to maintain a high- quality standard across all agency communications. Whether producing materials for the public or employees, it is important for grammar, naming and style conventions, voice, usage, tone and design elements to remain consistent across flyers, brochures, newsletters and other written communications. Communications asks all employees who write for the agency to follow these guidelines. The department based Sound Transit style on the Associated Press Stylebook for the following reasons: . AP style is the commonly accepted journalistic standard for usage, spelling, grammar and punctuation. As the standard style guide for most U.S. newspapers, magazines and public relations firms, readers have familiarity with this style. Sound Transit | Editorial and Style Guidelines | Summer 2019 | 4 More important than blindly following rules, the Communications Department seeks to make publications as clear and consistent as possible. There are times when AP (even Merriam- Webster) guidelines are awkward, do not fit the goals of a Sound Transit publication or are inconsistent with transit industry standards, so this style guide contains a few customized exceptions. As a living document, this guide will receive periodic updates. Please contact the department if you have additional style or grammar questions we can address in future editions. Please contact Galen Crawford, Ext. 7526, if you have style guideline questions or additional entries you would like to see in future editions. Sound Transit | Editorial and Style Guidelines | Summer 2019 | 5 Corporate and service mode information Use the following when preparing external and internal publications or reports: Logos Sound Transit logo: Include the Sound Transit logo on all publications or reports, preferably on the first page. Graphic files for download and guidelines are available here. Program logos: Individual program and service line logos (Link light rail, Sounder and ST Express regional bus) are for use only on signage and equipment. Use of agency and service names: Sound Transit: Two words. Do write using all capital letters. Do not abbreviate to ST in public documents. Use our legal name — The Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority — in contracts and board resolutions and actions. All other public documents should use Sound Transit. ST Express regional bus: The name ST Express refers to the regional express bus routes Sound Transit operates. Do not refer to the buses as REX in public documents. Avoid using all capital letters, italics or quotation marks when referring to ST Express. Sound Transit | Editorial and Style Guidelines | Summer 2019 | 6 Use Link light rail on first reference. May refer to as Link on later references. As a generic term, Link is inclusive of all five current or future lines (Orange, Red, Blue, Green and Purple). Avoid using all capital letters, italics or placing in quotation marks. Do not hyphenate light rail, even when used as a compound adjective. (Wrong: They delivered light-rail cars to Tacoma in September 2002.) To reinforce an understanding of existing service as the Red Line and Orange Line, begin pairing references to Tacoma Link and the Orange Line, and refer to service from University of Washington to Angle Lake or points in between as the Red Line. Examples: He traveled from the University of Washington to Sea-Tac Airport via the Red Line. The Hilltop Tacoma Link Extension will more than double the length of Tacoma Link, the Orange Line. Avoid referring to the Orange Line as a streetcar, and avoid the acronyms LRT and LRV. Refer to vehicles as cars or light rail vehicles, and refer to a set of linked cars as a train. See project names, Red Line, Blue Line, Green Line and Orange Line. Refer to as Sounder on all references. Avoid use of “commuter rail” as much as possible. Avoid using all capital letters, italics or quotation marks when referring to Sounder. For the service running from Everett to Seattle, use Sounder North. For the service running from Lakewood/Tacoma to Seattle, use Sounder South. Do not use North Sounder, South Sounder, Sounder north line or Sounder south line. Stride is the name for I-405 and SR 522 bus rapid transit that will connect to light rail and communities north east and south of Lake Washington. Bus rapid transit

  • Approval of Property Exchange & Development Agreement
    F–8 VII. STANDING COMMITTEES B. Finance, Audit and Facilities Committee Sound Transit U District Station – Approval of Property Exchange & Development Agreement RECOMMENDED ACTION It is the recommendation of the administration and the Finance, Audit and Facilities Committee that the Board of Regents: 1. Approve entering into a Property Exchange & Development Agreement with Sound Transit to exchange University property for the air rights above the U District Station for future transit oriented development, including temporary construction and tieback easements, a permanent tunnel easement under the Social Work Building, and a condominium declaration; and 2. Delegate to the President or his designee the authority to execute all documents related to this property exchange and development. BACKGROUND Purpose and Benefit Sound Transit is building a light rail station called the U District Station (part of its Northgate Link) across from the UW Tower between NE 43rd St and NE 45th St at Brooklyn Ave NE. The light rail tunnel will go under campus beginning at the UW Station, head north and west toward 15th Avenue NE, go under the University of Washington’s Social Work Building (located on the west side of 15th Avenue NE), then head north to the U District Station on Brooklyn Avenue NE. An agreement is already in place for the light rail tunnel under the main campus (to 15th Ave NE). The U District Station (“Station”) will serve as a “front door” to the upper University of Washington (“UW”) campus and there is particular interest in how it will be developed. Sound Transit policy calls for transit oriented development (“TOD”) above the Station.

  • Sound Transit TOD Quarterly Report
    Quarter 2, 2020 TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Quarterly Status Report Cedar Crossing project at the future Roosevelt Station, which began construction in May 2020. Overview RCW 81.112.350 requires Sound Transit to provide quarterly updates on implementation of a regional equitable transit oriented development (TOD) strategy. The TOD program is empowered by the voter‐ approved plan to create diverse, vibrant and mixed‐income communities around transit. To achieve these outcomes, Sound Transit offers its surplus properties—those acquired for building and operating the transit system but no longer provide a transit use to the agency—as development opportunities for affordable housing or other developments benefiting the public. TABLE OF CONTENTS Highlights TOD program development TOD program implementation Transfers of Surplus Property Looking Ahead TOD Quarterly Status Report | Page 1 SOUND TRANSIT’S OFFICE OF LAND USE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT | TOD Highlights Construction began on the Cedar Crossing project at Roosevelt Station.

  • The Neptune Theatre: a Case Study
    Seattle University ScholarWorks @ SeattleU Seattle Theater Group Arts Ecosystem Research Project 2020 The Neptune Theatre: A Case Study Ana N. Rusness-Petersen Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.seattleu.edu/seattle-theater-group THE NEPTUNE THEATRE 1 Photo courtesy STG Archive and Gallery The Neptune Theatre: A Case Study Ana N. Rusness-Petersen Seattle University Cultural Infrastructure and Facilities March 19, 2019 (updated May, 2020) THE NEPTUNE THEATRE 2 Abstract The Neptune Theatre, formerly known as the U-Neptune Theatre, was one of five neighborhood theaters constructed in the University District during the silent film era (1919 - 1921). This period, the 1920s, was “Seattle’s most active decade” of theater construction (Flom, 2001). Today, the Neptune remains as the last standing survivor of those venues still in operation a hundred years later. Still owned by descendants of the original family and now leased and operated by the Seattle Theatre Group (STG), this venue hosts artists and events ranging from David Crosby concerts to a Welcome to Nightvale live podcast performance; from a Macklemore guest appearance (Matson, 2012) to the annual Nights at the Neptune and Youth Speaks series. It remains one of Seattle’s premiere hot spots for concerts, film screenings, spoken word and dance showcases, and performances by touring musical legends and community youth alike. In our current environment of constrained resources, fiscal scrutiny, monotonous modern construction, and a movement towards historical stewardship and adaptive reuse, it is vital to develop a familiarity with exemplary facilities that embody long-term success by exploring and analyzing their leadership, design, operation, maintenance, and capitalization strategies, which have contributed to their ongoing survival and flourishment.
