Project Scope This Project will complete preliminary engineering and NEPA environmental review for station access improvements at the South Tacoma and Lakewood Sounder stations. 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. The scope also includes the development and implementation of an external engagement strategy, including public engagement activities for targeted outreach to underserved communities in the project area. Sound Transit and the cities of Lakewood and Tacoma will identify the infrastructure needs in and around each station that are most critical to removing barriers, improving safety, promoting TOD and improving access to station-area communities.

  • 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.

  • Puget Sound Region Transit-Oriented
    Puget Sound Region Transit-Oriented Development Market Study An overview of the potential for market-rate and affordable development around light rail transit in the Central Puget Sound Region June 28th, 2012 prepared for: Puget Sound Regional Council Growing Transit Communities Program EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over the coming decades, the Puget Sound region’s planned investment in rapid transit will have a considerable impact on urban form, mobility and access. As part of the Growing Transit Communities (GTC) partnership, the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) retained Strategic Economics and Gardner Economics to assess the opportunity for affordable and market-rate transit-oriented development (TOD) along existing and potential light rail lines. Guided by Vision 2040 and funded by a grant from the federal Partnership for Sustainable Communities, the GTC consortium is working to shape equitable transit communities with the goal of providing social, economic, and environmental benefits to current and future residents and businesses. This Executive Summary provides a summary of regional level finds from the report, including research around preferences for transit-oriented development and an overview of demographic, employment and market trends and conditions organized by the three regional light rail corridors and Downtown Seattle (Figure E1): the South Corridor, which extends from South Seattle to Tacoma, the North Corridor from North Seattle to Everett, the East Corridor from East Seattle to Redmond and, finally, a distinct geography comprised
