Extending Light Rail from Northgate to Lynnwood JUNE 2012 Lynnwood Link Extension Extending light rail from Northgate to Lynnwood Sound Transit is preparing to extend light rail from Northgate to Lynnwood, which voters approved as part of the Sound Transit 2 Plan in 2008 along with funding to continue planning future service all the way to Everett. This project relies on competing for and receiving significant federal funding. Based on results of environmental scoping and community input received over several months in 2011, the Sound Transit Board took a major step by confirming that light rail is the best mode of transit and Interstate 5 is the right corridor to study based on ridership, travel times, service levels and cost. As we begin environmental review of potential alignments and station options, public involvement is key for a successful project. Sound Transit also is gathering input from local jurisdictions including the cities of Seattle, Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds and Lynnwood as well as King and Snohomish counties. This spring, the Sound Transit Board identified the route and station options to examine more closely in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) process. PROJECT BENEFITS The Lynnwood Link Extension will connect to and build on the n 8.5 miles of new light rail service Link light rail line that opened for service between downtown n Northgate to Lynnwood with several new light rail Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport in 2009. stations n Frequent, reliable service between south Snohomish Construction is currently underway on a light rail extension County and the University of Washington, to the University of Washington scheduled to open in 2016, downtown Seattle and other regional destinations followed by service to Northgate targeted for opening in 2021. n Increased mobility, access and transportation Voter-approved additions will bring 36 new miles of service capacity for residents and workers to the north, south and east, creating more than 50 miles of regional light rail service. n Target opening for service in 2023 continued on back FOR MORE INFORMATION Email [email protected] Call Roger Iwata at 206-689-4904 Visit www.soundtransit.org/LLE LIGHT RAIL ROUTE AND STATION OPTIONS UNDER CONSIDERATION Lynnwood Alderwood Mall Library Map Key 196th St SW 405 Lynnwood 5 Potential Stations 200th St SW Lynnwood P Edmonds Potential Added Parking XXXX Community College XXXX Transit Center XX X X X X Potential Routes XXXXXXXXXXXXXX X X X P X X X X X X At-grade and elevated tracks or a combination of both will be evaluated X Edmonds X 212th St SW Segment C for each route option.

The Northgate south lot revitalization project fills eight acres with more than 500 units of housing and three acres of open space.” Context Built in 1950, Northgate Mall has anchored the area’s retail development ever since. Since 2001, the mall has been expanded and now provides a more pedestrian friendly experience in addition to strengthening its regional appeal through big-name tenants. Anchors to the mall include Nordstrom, Gene Juarez, Barnes and Noble, and Target. The mall also greatly increased the amount of dining available at the site. The City of Seattle has built a library branch across 5th Avenue from the mall and upgraded street crossings at traffic intersections.

  • Historic Property Survey Report: Seattle's Neighborhood Commercial
    HISTORIC PROPERTY SURVEY REPORT: SEATTLE’S NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS Prepared by: Mimi Sheridan Cultural Resource Specialist Prepared for: City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods Historic Preservation Program 700 Third Avenue, Seattle WA 98104 November 2002 PROJECT SUMMARY In 2000 the City of Seattle began a multi-year effort to update its inventory of historic resources throughout the city. Existing information, primarily from the 1970s, was out of date and inadequate to meet the challenges of growth management and the threats to the city’s traditional character posed by increasing demand for housing and commercial space. Two building categories and one neighborhood were selected for the initial round of surveys: neighborhood commercial districts, buildings constructed before 1905, and the University District. This report focuses on the methodology and findings of the survey and inventory of Seattle’s neighborhood commercial districts. The project began in the spring of 2001, with development of a work plan, which identified the survey criteria and boundaries. A context statement was then prepared, giving an overview of commercial development patterns throughout the city. Following this, a reconnaissance survey was done, looking at every building in the identified commercial districts. This survey recorded more than 1000 buildings that met the basic criteria of age (built prior to 1962) and architectural integrity. Two hundred of these structures were identified for further research and inclusion in the final inventory. Development patterns and physical characteristics of each neighborhood and of these 200 buildings are summarized here. In addition to this report, the Neighborhood Commercial District inventory includes 200 Historic Property Inventory forms in an electronic database format that will be available to the general public as well as to other city departments.

  • Sound Transit Light Rail - Northgate Link Extension (Contract N125) Seattle, Washington
    Sound Transit Light Rail - Northgate Link Extension (Contract N125) Seattle, Washington By accepting an alternate design concept by means of slurry walls, the project team saved on schedule. The project The Northgate Link Extension Contract N125 is a 3.5 mile long, twin-bored TBM tunnel project that will expand light rail service between the Maple Leaf Portal and the University of Washington Station. When finished by late 2021, the new route will provide an alternate transportation option to congested surface traffic. The challenge Soil conditions included engineered fill and non-engineered fill, till and till-like deposits, cohesionless sand & gravel, cohesionless silt and fine sand, cohesive clay and silt. Challenges included city work in a residential area, tight schedule (slurry walls were constructed in 89 days), sloped site with 25 feet of elevation difference along the site, and excavation through boulders and glacial till. The solution Keller constructed the reinforced slurry walls as support of excavation (SOE) for the Roosevelt Station. The SOE was originally designed as a complex secant pile system, which required a longer schedule. Keller proposed an alternate design concept using slurry walls, which was accepted. The Engineer of Record redesigned the SOE for the station using our concept. Keller utilized hydromills and a hydraulic clam bucket to excavate through well-graded sand and gravel with silt, interspersed with hard granite boulders. A total of 76 panels, reinforced with steel cages, were installed to depths of 155 feet and a combined wall thickness of 32 inches and 36 inches with an overbite of 9 inches. The total excavation surface area was 165,000 square feet.
