Summary:
The Overlake Transit facility proposed by Sound Transit as a “First Moves” project was developed in partnership with King County Department of Transportation, the City of Redmond, and Microsoft Corporation. The proposed facility would function as a service hub for Metro Transit and would accommodate local fixed route transit and para-transit services operated by Metro Transit, regional commuterroutes operated by Sound Transit and Community Transit, local public and private employer shuttle services and vanpool/carpool services. It would also operate in conjunction with the existing Overlake Park-n- Ride lot operated by Metro Transit. The proposed project would function as a hub for various transit-oriented travel choices, however changes in vehicular traffic such as traffic patterns, idling times and ueuing lengths needed to be evaluated to assess the affects those changes would have on local air quality and noise levels.
