The City has worked with Sound Transit to provide new opportunities for Islanders to identify their outstanding concerns related to the light rail station project on Mercer Island.

In the coming month, a broad public input process will gather comments to inform additional feasibility studies, to be presented to the Board of Sound Transit. These studies will build the necessary foundation for any future Council negotiations with Sound Transit.

The first outreach event in this new series is a public meeting to be held Thursday, September 24th, from 5 – 7 pm, at the Mercer Island Community & Event Center.

Please join the City, Councilmembers, Sound Transit, King County Metro, and WSDOT at this public meeting to learn more and share your comments or concerns.

More details, and other meeting dates, available soon here on Sound Transit’s website: http://www.soundtransit.org/Projects-and-Plans/East-Link-Extension/Stations/Mercer-Island-Station
