What are some of the other creative opportunities that use of the Eastside railroad offers?
There are many. One example is providing direct rail access to the University of Washington/Bothell campus via a short extension of an existing spur that leads northwest from downtown Woodinville. Another is construction of a branch line from downtown Bellevue to the existing tracks in downtown Redmond in order to provide direct rail service to Microsoft’s headquarters and to the soon-to-be-redeveloped Overlake area. A third example is a connection west of Renton to Sound Transit’s new light rail line to provide rail service from the Eastside to Sea-Tac airport. Still another is transformation of the South Kirkland park-and-ride lot into a high density residential and commercial transit-oriented-development (TOD) that incorporates a major rail-bus transfer point.
