Sound Transit seeks additional public input on transit-oriented development near U District station
Property in the heart of the U District will be available for future development
Earlier this year, Sound Transit asked for public comments on the future development of approximately 18,000 square feet of land near U District Station. Now, Sound Transit would like to share what was heard from the community and gather additional feedback to help refine project goals. The site is currently leased to the City of Seattle at no cost for use as a temporary tiny house village while the property is prepared for permanent development.
The survey is available now through Nov 28. Visit bit.ly/UdistrictTOD to learn more and complete the survey. The survey is available in Chinese, English, and Spanish.
Sound Transit recently opened new stations at U District, Roosevelt and Northgate. In 2022, Tacoma Link will expand to the Hilltop neighborhood. In 2023 trains will reach Mercer Island, Bellevue and the Overlake area. In 2024 Link light rail will expand to Federal Way, Lynnwood and Downtown Redmond.
