In December, the City of Seattle hosted its first set of community meetings on the upcoming First Hill line of the Seattle Streetcar. Many of you provided quality feedback about the routes under consideration and your input was valuable.
Study of these comments is currently being combined with other important alignment factors including bicycle integration, ridership and economic development potential, possible utility conflicts, streetcar travel time, capital and operating costs, potential traffic and parking revisions and urban design opportunities.
We hope you will attend our next round of community open houses this February to learn new information about how we are narrowing the current First Hill Streetcar route options based on these criteria.
This project—fully funded for construction and operation—is scheduled to break ground in 2011 and be open by 2013.
Come to one of our community open houses to learn from city representatives about the proposed streetcar routes, provide feedback on which alignment you think would be best and sign-up to receive updates.
We hope to see you there!
