A press release from Sound Transit.
Sound Transit is seeking public feedback on ideas for improving the experience of getting to and from Sounder trains and regional buses at South Tacoma and Lakewood stations. This includes investments in safer walking, rolling and bicycling connections between stations and their surrounding neighborhoods; improved wayfinding and signage; additional weather shelters; parking options and more.
An online open house will be available starting today through Oct. 26 at https://soundersouth.participate.online/. It will be available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Tagalog.
