New East Link Video

by Stephen Fesler @safesler on March 21, 2014

East Link Video

For those of you wishing East Link were open today, Sound Transit has given us something to chew on in the meantime. Sound Transit has put out a video visualization of the East Link corridor. The video focuses on the alignment from the interchange of I-90/Bellevue Way and Overlake Transit Center. Highlights of the simulation include station and transit facilities, three-car trainsets, and future transit-oriented development sites. Be sure you have time to watch in full though, the video runtime is 13 minutes.

On a related note, Sound Transit has also published the technical drawings (90% design) for the Northgate Link alignment from the Maple Leaf portal to the Northgate Station terminal tracks.

The Urbanist was founded in early 2014 in order to examine and influence urban policies. We believe cities provide unique opportunities for addressing many of the most challenging social, environmental, and economic problems. We serve as a resource for promoting and disseminating ideas, creating community, increasing political participation, and improving the places we live.

Join us each month in Downtown Seattle for a social gathering to talk about urban issues and hear from local thought leaders.

When: Second Tuesday / 5.30pm - 7.30pm
Where: Elephant & Castle / 1415 Fifth Avenue, Seattle
