Project updates

Mountlake Terrace Freeway Station – Sound Transit
Construction is underway on this $40.9 million project, which will add a freeway transit station in the median of I-5 and a pedestrian overpass to the newly completed Mountlake Terrace Park and Ride. The construction contract was awarded to MidMountain Contractors. When the project is completed in summer 2011, it will reduce transit travel times and improve reliability.

Harper Church Park and Ride Expansion – Kitsap Transit
Kitsap Transit has selected a contractor for the Harper Church Park and Ride Expansion project, which will expand the popular park and ride lot by more than 500 stalls. Construction is underway.

I-5 Commuter Service Augmentation – C-Tran
C-Tran’s service connecting Clark County and Portland continues to build ridership. During the first quarter of 2009 ridership increased more than 12 percent over the same period in 2008.

Martin Way Park and Ride Lot Renovation and Expansion – IT
Intercity Transit has resumed construction to expand the Martin Way Park and Ride, located along I-5 in Lacey. Construction to provide an additional 179 parking spaces at the overcrowded park and ride began in October 2008 and was suspended due to weather last December. The facility is expected to open to the public soon.
