What we heard during winter outreach

In December, we asked for your input on proposed walking, rolling, and bicycling improvements near Lakewood Station. Through an online open house and in-person outreach, we heard feedback from more than 30 people. Thank you to everyone who participated!

Feedback was largely positive, with an average of 78% of respondents expressing excitement about the proposed changes and an average of 9% of respondents expressing concern. Read the full engagement summary on our website or take a look at our new Frequently Asked Questions

We’ll take the feedback captured in the engagement summary into consideration as we continue working with the City of Lakewood. We’ll follow up with project updates later this year to let you know how the design and environmental review is progressing. By then, we will have a better idea about estimated costs of the improvements and seek your feedback for which improvements to prioritize. In 2024, the Sound Transit Board will select a set of improvements to move to final design and construction. All improvements are targeted to be completed by 2030.
