Join Transportation Choices Coalition and Move Redmond for our Transit Town Hall on the Eastside! 

 

Date: Monday, March 30
Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Location: Bellevue City Hall (Chamber and Concourse)
Address: 450 110th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98004

 

Sound Transit is navigating a critical phase in determining what the future of light rail will look like. Following announced cost overruns of around $35 billion for the long-range plan, the agency is reassessing how to deliver the transit system voters approved while facing real financial and logistical challenges. Although Seattle and the Eastside will finally be connected by light rail, decisions will need to be made by Sound Transit Board members concerning the 4-line from Kirkland to Issaquah and system expansion as a whole.

Come learn what is on the table and ask questions to King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci and Redmond Mayor Angela Birney. The event will be a hybrid town hall with a brief presentation from Sound Transit on the Enterprise Initiative, a structured Q&A, and then an open Q&A. The event is organized in partnership with Move Redmond, and the conversation will be moderated by Move Redmond’s Executive Director, Kelli Refer.

Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided outside of council chambers.
