COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS

The U District is one of the busiest hubs in the region for pedestrians, bicycles, transit, cars and freight, and it’s about to see major changes with Sound Transit’s U District Station opening in 2021 and new buildings popping up. Come join our community-driven effort to advocate for a quality transportation experience around the future station, and take the survey.

Tell us what you think and share ideas:
  • What are the major challenges to getting around the study area?
  • What are the biggest opportunities to make a great transportation experience?
  • How do we prioritize potential projects to advocate for to the city and agencies?
