<div dir="auto">Hey, </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">I'm not sure what's going on there at the moment. It might be worth looking at king county metro and what expansion plans they may have for routes in and around Tukwila. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Honestly, it's one of the worst planned areas for transit, compared to its potential, that I can think of. The light rail, amtrak /sounder station, and the mall should be on top of each other but you have to transfer to go between. Ban cars. </div>

<div style="line-break:after-white-space">I’m no expert but I do know a few transit advocates in Tukwila who had some good ideas the last time I was in touch with them. Lucca, would you want to meet directly with a small group of Tukwila folks if we can get
them together, or would you prefer for TRU to have some conversations and distill some recommendations for you?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My two cents: Can we move the light rail station from where it is now to where it was originally proposed to go, near the library in the closest thing Tukwila has to a downtown? Ha.<br>

<div>I met Lucca while doing some I-137/Prop 1A stuff recently (please get your ballots in soon!!). Is anyone able to help Lucca out in discussing transit improvements in Tukwila? See details below.<br>

in a potential transit benefit district, and I’m wondering if any Tukwila experts in TRU would know any projects that they would like for their city council to pursue.<span class="x_m_-8139513383812340207apple-converted-space"> <u></u><u></u></span></p>
