The SR 522/NE 145th BRT project will provide fast, frequent and reliable transit service connecting Woodinville, Bothell, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park and Seattle to the future Shoreline South/145th light rail station. By providing a better option to sitting in traffic, BRT will help speed up trips.

Those who aren’t able to attend an open house can provide comments through an online survey at sr522brt.participate.online. The survey will be open through June 13.

During 2018, Sound Transit will consider and evaluate refinements to the representative project approved by voters in 2016. The Sound Transit Board will then advance a refined project into the conceptual design and environmental review phase in early 2019. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2023, with service starting in 2024.
