King County Metro and the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) are looking for your input on the next steps for improving transit service on the Route 40 corridor.

We invite you to give us feedback during the Route 40 online open house. This is your opportunity to view our refined designs and provide your feedback to make the Route 40 corridor better for everybody. 

On the online open house, you can: 

  • Learn about our project goals 
  • See how the project team has incorporated previous feedback 
  • Review the refined design concepts 
  • Share feedback on your priorities for the Route 40 corridor 

The online survey will be available through Monday June 19. After the survey closes, we will share your feedback with the design team to prepare for advanced design. Design will continue through 2023. 

Thank you for your continued engagement 

The refined designs have been informed by a lot of great feedback from the community and key stakeholders. During the last outreach effort in spring 2022, 274 community members shared their feedback on the preliminary designs, which helped inform the latest refined designs.  

A summary of the survey is available on the SDOT website [PDF]. Want to learn more about how the feedback was incorporated into the latest refined designs? Check out the new “What we heard” document!

 

Meet the outreach team in your neighborhood 

In addition to the online open house, members of the project team will be at select bus stops along the Route 40 corridor to share the latest refined designs and answer any questions you may have!
