 Sound Transit staff speak with members of the public at a recent event, with a comment box showing prominently in the front. Your comments and feedback now will help shape the future of light rail in Snohomish County.
There’s still time to share your thoughts on the Everett Link light rail expansion in Snohomish County! You can learn about the project and alternatives for routes, stations and locations for the Operations and Maintenance Facility North on our interactive website. The comment period is open through March 10, and comments can be submitted by:
Your input will help us determine which alternatives should continue to be studied in the environmental impact statement and what topics we should study. We’re at a critical point in the decision-making process around routes, station locations and the placement of the OMF North, so your feedback matters now!
Comments will be accepted through March 10.
There is one more public meeting during this comment period, held via Zoom this Wednesday, March 1, 11:30 a.m. -1:30 p.m. Meeting link online.
This is your chance to learn more and ask questions about the Everett Link light rail extension into Snohomish County, and the upcoming environmental review process. We will share information about options for the route, stations and Operations and Maintenance Facility North locations we studied in 2022. Note: The presentation will be the same as the virtual public meeting we held Feb. 7.
After the comment period closes, all comments submitted by March 10 will be shared with our stakeholder and partner groups, as well as the Sound Transit Board, who will identify which route, station and operations and maintenance facility alternatives will be studied in the Draft EIS. These alternatives will undergo detailed analysis with future opportunities for public comment.
Several Sound Transit partners are currently conducting outreach or updates that you may be interested in. Learn more and get involved at the links below.
- Community Transit is proposing transit changes for “2024 and beyond” that would increase frequencies on local bus service and include connections to light rail in Snohomish County. They are asking for feedback on the proposed changes through March 4.
- Everett Transit recently announced service changes starting April 2023, based on rider feedback.
- Comprehensive plan updates for the next 20 years are underway throughout Snohomish County.
We encourage you to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @SoundTransit and forward email updates like this to family, friends, neighbors and your community! Many community members haven’t heard that we’re expanding light rail to Snohomish County, and we are trying to reach as many people as possible. Your voice matters and we hope that you stay engaged with this project as it moves forward.
We are happy to meet with community groups to provide more information about the project. Please reach out to us at everettlink@soundtransit.org to request a briefing.
