Our products were designed by a DOT utility contractor who has a vast amount of experience in civil construction. He believed our products should be simple yet sophisticated, so everything was designed with that principle in mind.
Sound Transit remains deeply committed to delivering regional transit within reasonable timelines while providing that these services are planned, designed, constructed, operated and maintained for safety and quality that will support our region for generations.
We pledge to you that we will work to open this project as soon as we can do so while maintaining quality and safety and will keep the lines of communication open on the progress toward start of service.
Today we also provided updates to the committee on our other Link projects in construction, outlining the continuing work ahead to reliably set new opening dates for our extensions to the Eastside, Lynnwood and Federal Way.
Our best opportunity for launching new service the soonest will be to open projects in the order they finish construction: Lynnwood Link Extension first, then the East Link and Downtown Redmond extensions simultaneously, and then the Federal Way Link Extension.
These realities meant we had to analyze and update our project opening time frames and sequencing. In addition to re-sequencing openings to align with new targeted construction completion windows, we also needed to fully assess the resources needed for each opening independently, as well as systemwide.
Project openings rely on other shared resources, too. This includes Sound Transit staff, staff needs from our partners in recruiting operators and maintenance personnel, local emergency responders for trainings, staff from state and federal oversight agencies, and more. Given all these shared resources, opening extensions in too close of a sequence jeopardizes our ability to maintain our highest standards for quality and safety.
But opening Lynnwood before East Link also introduces regional mobility challenges, as we look at how to support additional ridership without the originally proposed level of opening service on the extension.
Like Lynnwood, the Downtown Redmond Link Extension has seen only minimal delays as well. Opening it at the same time as East Link, as one full 2 Line launch, will create some efficiency by combining two planned testing periods and openings into one. Additionally, opening Redmond with or after East Link will ensure the OMF East access.
Opening the Federal Way Link Extension third would allow the time necessary for our contractors to design and build a long-span bridge solution for the unstable soil area near Kent. Opening after East Link is also necessary to support the fleet expansion and service headway needs for this extension.
The segment between South Bellevue Station and Redmond Technology Station will be completed in early 2024 and have direct access to OMF East. This segment also has station locations and ridership potential to connect riders to local resources for essential jobs, education, health care, food, shopping and recreation.
We need to double the current rate of hiring to meet the needs for our system, and this is a sectorwide and regionwide challenge. If unaddressed, it could add up to six months to each project timeline.
Ten weeks of construction in the downtown Seattle transit tunnel will reduce Link light rail service beginning January 4. The Connect 2020 project will build new light rail tracks that will connect the Seattle line to the Eastside line, which is expected to open in 2023.
Rather then shut down service completely during new track construction, Sound Transit will keep the trains running on only one track. Riders should plan for crowding and increased travel times. When Connect 2020 is done, the existing tunnel will be ready to serve riders traveling to and from 10 new East King County stations in 2023.

TCEQ issued the renewal of the CGP with an effective date of March 5, 2023. Construction activities are regulated under the CGP if they discharge stormwater to any surface water in the state and disturb an acre or more of soil.
PLEASE NOTE: Effective September 1, 2018, applicants must submit the NOI, LREW, NOT, and NOC forms using the online e-permitting system available through the TCEQ website or request and obtain an electronic reporting waiver. Electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable and expire on the same date as the authorization to discharge.
Notice of Intent : This form is required to be submitted for large construction activities which disturb five or more acres of land, including those activities which are part of a larger common plan of development that disturb five or more acres of land. The instructions detailing how to fill the Notice of Intent are included in this form.
Site Notice for Small Construction Activities : This form is required for operators of small activities (i.e., those that disturb one acre or more but less than five acres of land, including those activities which are part of a larger common plan of development that disturb one acre or more but less than five acres of land).
Site Notice for Small Construction Activities Automatically Authorized Based on Low Erosion Potential : This form is required for small construction activities that are automatically authorized based on a low potential for erosion (see Part II.E.1. of the general permit, TXR1500000). This form is required for primary operators and secondary operators of small construction activities.
Signatory Requirement Guidance : This document describes which person(s) have the authority to sign formal documents, such as a Notices of Intent, Notice of Change and Notice of Termination as required by Title 30 Texas Administrative Code, Section 305.44.
An example letter delegating signatory authority (TCEQ-20403) is also available on the Construction Stormwater General Permit section of the Small Business and Local Government Assistance web page "Assistance Tools for Stormwater Permitting".

Princeton University Facilities supports the academic mission of Princeton University by providing the spaces necessary for an immense variety of teaching and research endeavors. Preserving the beauty of our historic campus is paramount in everything we build, landscape, maintain and renovate. All planning and design is overseen by the Office of the University Architect and guided by the Princeton Campus Plan, the Sustainability Plan and Campus Mobility Principles. Explore our active projects to see what's coming to campus in the future.
The 2026 plan will be remembered for providing flexible options for stewardship of the central campus, renewal of the eastern campus and, with the option to expand across Lake Carnegie, a vision for a fundamentally new era in the history of the campus. Our challenge was to create a framework that will guide the development of a campus as successful and meaningful to our successors as the campus we have inherited has been to all generations of Princetonians.
The goal of the Temporary Campus Pathways team is to provide clear standards and processes for the campus network that construction project teams can readily apply to ensure major corridors and connections throughout the campus are not only maintained in concert, but are easy and safe to navigate by people of all ages and abilities.
The team has, and will continue, to engage the community in intercept interviews to understand how campus construction is impacting the University Community, especially at specific pain points. From these surveys we've already improved our pathway maps, installed more lighting, and upgraded critical pathways. Please contact the Facilities Service Center, 609-258-8023, if you notice an unsafe condition on campus.
