Public comment
I-405 legislative update
Legislative session outcomes:
Toll authorization and bonding
Permanent toll authorization for I-405 and SR 167 (to SR 512 in Puyallup)
Bonding for I-405 and SR 167 priority projects
• SR 522 to SR 527
• Renton to Bellevue Completion
• SR 167 Master Plan Update
• SR 167 Stage 6
• Engineering for North 8th Street
in Renton
Defines I-405 and SR 167 as
a corridor, creating one account
for toll revenue (motor vehicle
account)
Programmatic studies (2+ study
for Renton to Bellevue)

I-405, SR 522 Vicinity to SR 527 Express Toll Lanes
Improvement Project
Project elements
• Build one new express toll lane (ETL) in each direction
between south of SR 522 and SR 527
• Build direct access ramps to the ETLs at SR 522 and SR 527
Project funding
• Fully funded through construction

*Construction for most of the BRT projects are expected to begin by 2023 and be completed by 2024. Construction of
some elements may begin before 2023 and others may occur after service starts in 2024.

Bothell Connection Workshop Objective
Engage stakeholders to identify an interim and long-
term solution for bus rapid transit (BRT) operations
in the Bothell area that meets the objectives of ST3
and the vision of the I-405 Master Plan
Problem Statement Identifying a Bothell connection that provides the
highest and best use of all capital investments in the
corridor for all modesPrimary questions to be addressed
o What is the long-term vision for BRT on the I-405 corridor?
o Where do the two BRT lines connect?
o How do we connect BRT stations to the community?
o How do we meet the ST3 objectives of serving UW Bothell / Cascadia College campus
and Brickyard?
o How do we maximize the use of partner agency capital investment in the corridor for all
modes?
o What is the best path forward on the long-term vision?

Evaluation Criteria from Day 1CRITERIA CONSIDERATIONS
Sound Transit BRT System
Connectivity
■ Connection between the 522 and I-405 BRT lines (frequency and transfer convenience)
■ SR 522 compatibility (ridership, travel time, reliability)
I-405 BRT Operations ■ I-405 BRT travel time
■ I-405 BRT reliability
■ I-405 BRT ridership
■ Efficient travel routes for passengers
Regional Connections ■ Motorized connection
■ Transit connection
Local Access and Transit Rider
Experience
■ Multi-modal connections to I-405 BRT from key activity and residential locations (bike, ped)
■ Non-motorized connection to the UW Bothell / Cascadia College campus
■ Supportive of local land use plans
■ Transit waiting and transfer environment (passenger perceptions of safety and comfort)
Cost (Capital and Transit
Operations)
■ Capital cost
■ Relative change in operating cost including layover considerations

Day 1 Workshop Summary of Options to Carry Forward
18
Brickyard
▪ Assumed as an in-line station in all scenarios
during day 1▪ In-line access from the ETLs is the long-term vision to be
consistent with the rest of the corridor
▪ Operational challenges result in a need to have the UW Bothell /
Cascadia College and Brickyard Station locations aligned (both
center or both side)
▪ Estimated $75 million additional capital
investment for Brickyard in-line station
19
Brickyard Early Concept Drawing
20
Two Potential Opening Day Options
• Ramp stations at 195th
& Brickyard
• Slower and less reliable
operation in general
purpose lanes
• Consistent with ST3
• Does not leverage the
new State investment in
the corridor
• Direct Access ramp
stations at 522
interchange
• Additional capital
investment (~$75 mil)
required for Brickyard
in-line station
• Improved travel time
and reliability by
operating in the ETLs
21
Recommendation: Further Refinement to the I-405 BRT Project to Leverage State Investment
▪ Direct Access Ramp Stations at Canyon Park
▪ Direct Access Ramp Stations at SR 522*
▪ Brickyard in-line station
* 195th in-line station remains the long-term vision when funding becomes available

Further Refinement to the SR 522 BRT
▪ Station on Beardslee at the 195th interchange to be
served by every 522 BRT bus
▪ 522 BRT service continue to a new bus loop at the
522 interchange to connect to I-405 BRT - Every 522 BRT bus will connect with I-405 BRT
- Continue to evaluate Woodinville service options
- Future evaluation of 522 BRT service modifications when
the 195th in-line station is added
