  • Invest System Access Dollars to connect stations to the Seattle bike network 
  • Plan early for bike-route specific construction impacts

  • Ensure new station areas improve the current biking conditions, and not degrade them

Baking bikes into light rail means studying the impacts now, not just an afterthought later. 

In the closing days of public comment (through April 28) on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, please take action to tell Sound Transit to bake bikes into the plan.
