Sound Transit: Support Fourth Avenue station

Re: “Holiday travel: Take transit to the airport” [July 4, Northwest Voices]:

It gained’t be really easy and “stress-free” attending to Seattle-Tacoma Worldwide Airport by way of Hyperlink mild rail if Sound Transit will get its means. Within the Could vote, the ST board declared north (jail space) and south (Interstate 90 freeway interchange) stations most well-liked choices to Fourth Avenue at Union Station. If the north and south choices prevail, Eastside and South Finish transit riders shall be compelled to go downtown to jail station (north choice) with a purpose to go south, corresponding to to the airport, as a result of present service on the Fifth Avenue transit tunnel shall be severely decreased. Everybody will face a number of seat rides attempting to get from a go to to locations within the south to houses within the north or Eastside.

Solely the promised Fourth Avenue web site at Union Station connects all three light-rail traces and yields the simplest technique to get wherever mild rail goes, particularly essential for these with mobility challenges and for the financial viability of the Chinatown Worldwide District. That’s the reason the overwhelming majority of CID organizations, companies and residents assist the Fourth Avenue station.

Write, name and meet the Sound Transit board to decide on the promised Fourth Avenue web site at Union Station.
