Project Overview Background Sound Transit is investing $40 million to improve access to the Edmonds and Mukilteo stations for riders, whether they walk, bike, use transit, are dropped off, or drive. This investment could come in the form of direct Sound Transit construction of new facilities or by providing funding to another agency or local government to build an improvement. In early 2019, Sound Transit started working with local partners and the community to identify potential access improvements that would best meet the goal of increasing ridership on Sounder North. Sound Transit hosted an online open house and survey from March 19 to April 14, 2019, and held several events to inform the public about the project and gather feedback on priorities.

Project Overview

BackgroundSound Transit is investing $40 million to improve access to the Edmonds and Mukilteo stations for riders, whether they walk, bike, use transit, are dropped off, or drive. This investment could come in the form of direct Sound Transit construction of new facilities or by providing funding to another agency or local government to build an improvement.

In early 2019, Sound Transit started working with local partners and the community to identify potential access improvements that would best meet the goal of increasing ridership on Sounder North. Sound Transit hosted an online open house and survey from March 19 to April 14, 2019, and held several events to inform the public about the project and gather feedback on priorities.

Types of access improvements considered

Sound Transit is considering a range of improvements that make it easier for people to access the Edmonds and Mukilteo stations, such as:

Pedestrian improvements

Bicycle improvements

Transit connections

Vehicle access

General station amenities

Process

Identify potential access improvements

Improvement projects were drawn from city, county, and transit agency plans as well as from discussions with stakeholders and

outreach to the public.

Pre-screen 67improvement projects were then put through a pre-

screening process which removed projects that were ineligible according to Sound Transit or project guidelines.

Evaluate 38improvement projects that made it through the pre-screening process were then evaluated against 19 criteria based on the

goals of the project. These evaluations determined which improvements Sound Transit recommended.

Recommend 25improvement projects are

RECOMMENDED OR HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by Sound Transit; however, the Sound Transit Board

will consider all of the projects evaluated when deciding which to advance into environmental review.

Pre-Screening Criteria

Sound Transit identified and pre-screened over 50 potential access improvements to determine eligibility for funding or construction. Access improvement projects were determined to be eligible if they met the following criteria:

þ SCOPE: The improvement makes access easier for current or potential Sounder riders

þ SCHEDULE: The improvement can be implemented or completed by 2024

þ BUDGET: The Sound Transit contribution would be under $40 million

þ REGULATORY CONSTRAINTS: The improvement is unlikely to encounter major regulatory constraints

þ POLICY LIMITATIONS: The project does not conflict with Sound Transit policy or the requirements of the ST3 voter-approved funding package

Sample improvement projects not selected:Some of the access improvements that did not meet Sound Transit’s evaluation criteria and will not advance to the next phase of the analysis are:

þ Frequent bus service between the Edmonds ferry terminal and the future Mountlake Terrace light rail station ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing transit operations by other agencies.

þ Frequent bus service between the Mukilteo ferry terminal and the future Lynnwood light rail station ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing transit operations by other agencies.

þ Other transit frequency improvements and new bus connections between the Sounder stations and other destinations ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing transit operations by other agencies.

þ Vanpool service from satellite lots ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing operations for services such as vanpools.

þ Waterfront promenade construction in Mukilteo This project would not provide a direct path to the station for most riders and would not result in new riders.

þ User experience and customer information system ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing services.

þ Carpool/ride-sharing app ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing services.

þ Life transition marketing ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing marketing efforts.

þ Unified transit marketing with other agencies ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing marketing efforts.

þ Partnerships with ride-hailing/taxi companies for first/last mile service ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing services.

þ Partnerships with e-bikes, scooters, or other on-demand transit services for first/last mile service ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing services.

þ Attendant parking ST3 capital expansion funds cannot be used for ongoing services.

þ Park Avenue streetscape enhancements in Mukilteo This project would not provide a direct path to the station for most riders and would not result in new riders.

þ Sidewalk along Mukilteo Lane This project would not provide a direct path to the station for most riders and would not result in new riders.

Evaluation Criteriafor Improvement Projects

After eliminating the ineligible improvement projects in the screening process previously described, Sound Transit is now considering 38 improvement projects.Each of these improvement projects has been evaluated using criteria developed from the goals of the project. Each was rated on a scale of High, Medium, or Low based on how well the improvement meets each criterion. Projects with the most cumulative “High” ratings are those most highly recommended.

Ridership þ Number of people with improved access þ Potential riders

Consistency þ Provides a long-term benefit to the community (builds permanent community asset) þ Is consistent with Sound Transit and/or other agencies’ plans þ Reflects broad public and stakeholder input

Implementation þ Funding: Leverages local funding partners þ Cost: Cost per person with improved potential access þ Timing (low = 2024, medium = 2021–2024, high = 2020) þ Efficiency: Leverages existing community assets

Access þ Equity þ Reliability

Environment þ Resilience þ Historic resources þ Archaeological / cultural resources þ Parks and recreational resources þ Visual þ Hazardous materials þ Wildlife/wetland habitat þ Critical habitat (marine)

Sound Transit is currently in the planning phase and has identified and evaluated potential access improvements for each station. Those evaluations, combined with the feedback collected through this open house and other public outreach efforts, will inform the Sound Transit Board’s decision-making as it advances a package of access improvements into environmental review in 2020. The public will have an opportunity to comment during environmental review. The Sound Transit Board will make the final decision on which projects to build or fund in 2021. All projects will be complete by 2024.

1. Port of Edmonds gravel lot

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:Through a partnership with the Port of Edmonds, this improvement project would construct a two-level parking structure on Port property near the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Dayton Street, on the west side of the railroad tracks. This site is currently a gravel lot that the Port uses for parking. This project would provide about 75 new parking spaces. The parking facility could be used by non-transit riders during periods when Sounder trains are not running (evenings or weekends).

7. Remote parking at SR 104 and 100th Ave W

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would explore parking options at a site near the intersection of State Route 104 and 100th Avenue W. As part of this project, existing buildings would be removed, and the site would be converted to surface parking yielding 100–150 parking spaces. Connections to Sounder would be made via Community Transit Route 130. Future transit connections could be made by a new Community Transit route connecting the Sounder station to the upcoming Mountlake Terrace Link light rail station, providing additional transit options for park-and-ride users. The parking facility could be used by non-transit riders during periods when Sounder trains are not running (evenings or weekends).

8. Remote parking at 76th Ave W and Olympic View Dr

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would explore options for existing parking in the vicinity of 76th Avenue W and Olympic View Drive. This location would yield 30–50 parking spaces depending on the amount of area available for lease or purchase and the expected demand for parking at this location. There is no direct bus connection between this parking facility and the Sounder station. The parking facility could be used by non-transit riders during periods when Sounder trains are not running (evenings or weekends).

9. Remote parking at Westgate Chapel

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would explore parking options at Westgate Chapel, located at the northwest corner of 228th Street SW and 95th Place W, just north of State Route 104. This site is expected to provide 30–50 parking spaces depending on the amount of area available for lease or purchase and the expected demand for parking at this location. There currently is no transit service between this lot and the Sounder station; therefore, this parking option would be considered only if Community Transit implements new service between the Sounder station and the upcoming Link light rail station at Mountlake Terrace. The parking facility could be used by non-transit riders during periods when Sounder trains are not running (evenings or weekends).

20. SR 104 bus improvements

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would be a collaboration with the City of Edmonds, Community Transit, and WSDOT to convert some or all of the pull-out bus stops along State Route 104 to operate as in-lane stops. This would improve the speed and reliability of transit along State Route 104 since buses would not have to merge back into traffic after each stop. Additional study is needed to identify which bus stops are good candidates for conversion.

1. Lighthouse Park parking lot

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would explore options for using a portion of the parking lot at Lighthouse Park for Sounder rider use. The parking facility could be used by non-transit riders during periods when Sounder trains are not running (evenings or weekends). This project could also include new parking meters to allow greater flexibility for how this parking lot is used by Sounder and other users. Additionally, this project could include a new all-weather path between the parking lot and the Sounder station under the State Route 525 bridge over the BNSF railroad tracks to provide a more direct connection between Sounder and the parking area (additional study is required to determine if there is adequate right-of-way and clearance under the bridge). This project would provide 30–150 parking spaces, depending on the amount of area that is available to lease or purchase.

2. City of Mukilteo parking lot adjacent to Mukilteo Station

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would be a partnership with the City of Mukilteo to allow Sounder riders to park in the on-street spaces near the station. This project would require new parking meters to allow for different time limits during different times of the day/days of the week. This project would result in 20–30 parking spaces depending on how many on-street spaces are available to Sounder riders. The parking facility could be used by non-transit riders during periods when Sounder trains are not running (evenings or weekends).

5. Remote parking at Paine Field

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would explore parking options near Paine Field near the intersection of the Mukilteo Speedway and Bernie Webber Drive. This project would require a new surface lot be permanently paved along with lighting and pedestrian improvements. There currently is no transit service between this lot and the Sounder station. Therefore, this parking option would be considered only if Community Transit implements new service, potentially in conjunction with the Link extension to Lynnwood. The parking facility could be used by non-transit riders during periods when Sounder trains are not running (evenings or weekends).

9. Mukilteo Station pedestrian bridge

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would build a new bridge over the BNSF railroad tracks connecting Old Town to the Sounder station. The exact location of the bridge would be defined through additional study if this project were advanced, but it would likely be located between Loveland Avenue and Camelia Avenue. This project would require an elevator and stairs on the north landing to account for the difference in elevation between Old Town and the waterfront. Bicycles could be accommodated on this bridge, but the stair/elevator access makes this a less favorable route than the State Route 525 bridge for many riders.

10. Pedestrian improvements at 2nd St and SR 525

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would construct a pedestrian- or bicycle-activated crossing of Mukilteo Speedway in the vicinity of 2nd Street or 3rd Street in Old Town to facilitate access to the Sounder station for Old Town residents who live west of the Speedway. This project would complement an upcoming WSDOT project to widen the State Route 525 sidewalk on the BNSF railroad crossing to provide better access to the waterfront and Sounder station.

12. 5th St bicycle and pedestrian improvements

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would improve 5th Street from Lincoln Avenue to the eastern city limits by adding a bike lane and shared-use path. This project would provide a safer and more convenient pedestrian and bicycle connection between Old Town and western Everett to the Mukilteo Sounder station. Currently 5th Street does not have any pedestrian or bicycle facilities. This facility would connect to existing bike lanes along Mukilteo Boulevard in the City of Everett.

14. Old Town bus stops

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:This improvement project would construct new bus stops in Old Town along Mukilteo Speedway between 2nd and 5th streets to improve access between Old Town, Lighthouse Park, and the Sounder station once the new ferry terminal opens. (Once the ferry terminal opens, the existing bus stop next to Diamond Knot Brewing Company will close, and the buses will instead stop right outside the Sounder station on their way to the new bus transit center at the ferry terminal.) If this project were advanced, additional study would identify the best location for the bus stops considering the need to cross the Speedway.

16. Bus transfer timing improvements

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:Sound Transit will work with Community Transit and Everett Transit to evaluate how well the schedules for Sounder and Community Transit and Everett Transit buses align at the Mukilteo Sounder station. The ferry schedule will also be considered since many Sounder riders use the ferry for access at Mukilteo. The agencies will look for ways to modify bus and/or train schedules to optimize transfers between the transit modes. Implementation of improvements is expected in conjunction with the opening of the new ferry terminal in 2020.
