• Build a safe, accessible and family-friendly station area that celebrates the diversity of the surrounding community<\/p>\n
• Provide a mix of affordable housing styles and retail services for people who have a range of incomes<\/p>\n
• Improve walking, biking and other modes of accessibility to and from the TOD site, light rail station, and broad community for people of all ages and abilities<\/p>\n
• Provide space opportunities for small-scale businesses and retailers<\/p>\n
The online open house questions are grouped by the following key areas that the Sound Transit project team needs your feedback on:<\/p>\n
• Public and activity space<\/p>\n
• Green space<\/p>\n
• Affordable housing<\/p>\n
• Retail and business space<\/p>\n
• Community space<\/p>\n
Sound Transit also will host a virtual presentation and live question and answer session regarding this development opportunity from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 3.<\/p>\n
Sound Transit is partnering with the City of Kent to create a vision for future development near the Kent\/Des Moines light rail station, focused on the opportunities created through easy access to transit. The station area is part of the City of Kent’s plans for the Midway neighborhood.<\/p>\n
In 2022, Sound Transit will expand Tacoma Link to the Hilltop neighborhood. In 2023 trains will reach Mercer Island, Bellevue and the Overlake area. In addition to the Federal Way Link Extension, 2024 will bring the opening of extensions to Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood and Downtown Redmond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
