These improvements will include, but not limited to, sidewalks, pedestrian and bicycle improvements, lighting and other station area enhancements to improve safety and accessibility for transit riders and the community. The work will also include analyzing transit use around the stations to inform integration of multi-modal improvements and evaluation of parking improvement options at the stations.

THIS CITY OF OURS By J. WILLIS SAYRE For the illustrations used in this book the author expresses grateful acknowledgment to Mrs. Vivian M. Carkeek, Charles A. Thorndike and R. M. Kinnear.

SAYRE rot &?+ *$$&&*? *• I^JJMJWW' 1 - *- \£*- ; * M: . * *>. f* j*^* */ ^ *** - • CHIEF SEATTLE Leader of his people both in peace and war, always a friend to the whites; as an orator, the Daniel Webster of his race. Note this excerpt, seldom surpassed in beauty of thought and diction, from his address to Governor Stevens: Why should I mourn at the untimely fate of my people? Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant — but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend with friend cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. Let the White Man be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead — I say? There is no death. Only a change of worlds.

G-1 A-1 Appendix B: METRO CONNECTS Capital Facilities – Passenger Facility Improvements Appendix A. Service Network Service Terms Glossary Alternative services: Transportation services tailored to meet specific community needs. Metro plans and provides these services with partner support throughout King County. Often, the served community lacks the infrastructure, density or land rights to support traditional, fixed-route bus service. Metro’s alternative services include: VanPool, VanShare, Community Access Transportation (CAT), Dial-a-Ride Transit (DART), Community Shuttles, Community Hub and Flexible Rideshare. (See definitions of these services below.) Bus Bulb: Bus bulbs are curb extensions that align the bus stop with the parking lane, allowing buses to stop and board passengers without ever leaving the travel lane. Bus bulbs help buses move faster and more reliably by decreasing the amount of time lost when merging in and out of traffic. Carpool: Commuters travelling similar routes can connect on the Metro Rideshare website and share rides in personal vehicles. Community Access Transportation (CAT): A program that complements paratransit (ACCESS) service by filling service gaps in partnership with nonprofit agencies, such as those serving seniors or people with disabilities. Custom Bus: A program that serves King County commuters and students who travel to locations not well served by fixed-route transit. -
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. -

Abstract (Limit: 200 words) This report is a combination of two reports (Task 1 and Task 2 and 3) on the Highway 61/Red Rock Commuter Rail Corridor. The Task 1 portion describes the baseline conditions related to subdivision-scaled growth in the corridor, with particular concentration on Cottage Grove, one of the station sites. Also considered are current plans for the downtown St. Paul Union Depot. The Task 2 and 3 portion focuses on issues relating to the relationship between transportation and the environment. An important issue in this study, therefore, is the design and institutional integration of objectives across investments in transit services at a regional scale, public space, and the long-term value of developed private space, especially in suburbia. The report offers designs for new, alternative patterns of regional growth, both urban and suburban, in broad corridors served by commuter rail service. -

KEY FEATURES of PROPOSED ACTION • This action would select the project to be built for the D Street-to-M Street rail connector, a 1.2 mile section of new track to be constructed by Sound Transit on acquired right-of- way connecting Tacoma Dome Station with Sound Transit’s Lakeview Subdivision railroad right-of-way, purchased from BNSF in 2003. • The recommended project would construct new track and signal systems, including installation of state-of-the-art safety equipment at the at-grade crossings of East D and East C Streets. The rail line would cross a lowered Pacific Avenue on a grade- separated bridge, giving traffic on this major arterial unimpeded access to points north and south of the line. This recommendation is based on the greater safety and lower liability of the grade-separated crossing of Pacific Avenue and the relative small cost savings (approx. -
