Sound Transit open house and 145th Citizens committee meetings this week

There are two meetings this week relative to the light rail changes.

Wednesday, Jan 27, 6-8:30 pm, Shorewood High School Commons / Theater, 17300 Fremont Ave N.

Open House for the Sound Transit (light rail station) design process. Sound Transit will start light rail station design in 2016, and the City of Shoreline is holding this informational session to help citizens understand how they can be part of the process and to provide feedback. There will be a presentation from 6:30-7:00pm, but most of the meeting will be open house format:

• Sound Transit will give a presentation about various design elements, timeline, how to participate
• City Staff will explain the Draft Guiding Principles for Light Rail Facility Design (based on comments gathered at Visioning and Design workshops in 2013/2014)

Three topical “stations” will be set up in the lobby where you can ask questions and provide feedback on projects related to light rail.
