Community Organizations
April 2019 Community Organizations AE 0036-17 List of Government Entity, Business and Business Organization, and Community Organization Commenters DRAFT – For internal discussion only. Not reviewed or approved on behalf of any party. Subject: 350 Seattle Transportation Team Scoping Comment for Ballard Link station April 1st, 2019 Please consider this scoping comment for the Ballard Link station, and include in scoping all light rail routes that could potentially be the most economical way to maximize ridership and Transit-Oriented development, and then choose the alternative that best optimizes for these two critical factors. Scoping should take into consideration the effect of light rail decisions on climate. To that end, light rail stations should be situated where they will attract the most riders, and where the most housing is and will be constructed, accelerating emission reductions. Ridership and the opportunity for dense transit-oriented development should be top priority because: ● The most recent IPCC climate report makes it clear -- we have very little time to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions -- roughly a dozen years to reduce GHG emissions by 40-50%( https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/) ● Personal transportation accounts for half of Seattle Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions ( http://greenspace.seattle.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/SeaClimateAction_April2018. pdf). ● Many if not most people cannot afford electric cars, and we can’t achieve these emissions targets without getting most of us out of our cars and onto transit. ● Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) allows more people to live where they can have a low-carbon commute. It represents our best chance for accommodating Seattle’s continued growth without sprawl that counteracts our other efforts toward GHG reduction. -

Early Scoping Summary Report
Early Scoping Summary Report April 2018 West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions Summary Purpose Sound Transit conducted early scoping for the West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions (WSBLE) Project in Seattle, Washington, from February 2 through March 5, 2018. The early scoping started the public planning and environmental processes for the project. This report describes how Sound Transit conducted early scoping and summarizes the comments received from local and regulatory agencies, tribes, and the public during the early scoping period. This information will be considered by Sound Transit as it identifies and studies alternatives for the WSBLE Project. The Early Scoping Process Sound Transit published an early scoping notice in the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) register on February 2, 2018, which initiated early scoping and started the 30-day comment period. Additional public notification was provided with mailed postcards, print and online advertisements, and social media notices. Three public open houses and an agency meeting were held during this comment period, as well as an online open house from February 12 to March 5, 2018. Sound Transit requested comments on the purpose and need, the Representative Project, other potential alternatives, and potential community benefits and impacts. Comments were accepted by mail, email, online comment forms, and on comment boards and maps at the open houses (both in person and online). Agency Early Scoping Thirty-four federal, state, regional, and local agencies received -
