The document summarizes a community meeting to discuss planning for light rail stations in West Seattle as part of the West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions Project. It provided an overview of the project timeline, alternatives screening process, and role of Community Advisory Groups in providing feedback on station planning. Specific stations discussed included Delridge, Avalon, and Alaska Junction, with a focus on integrating stations with development, public spaces, and multimodal access. Next steps include continuing discussions on station context plans and designs.

21
Racial Equity Toolkit (RET): Outcomes
Ø Advance environmental and economic justice to improve economic and health
outcomes for communities of color.
Ø Enhance mobility and access for communities of color and low-income populations;
Ø Create opportunities for equitable development that include expanding housing and
community assets for communities of color;
Ø Avoid disproportionate impacts on communities of color and low-income
populations;
Ø Create a sense of belonging for communities of color at all stations, making spaces
where everyone sees themselves as belonging, feeling safe, and welcome; and
Ø Meaningfully involve communities of color and low-income populations in the
project.

22
22
Co-planning focus: the “Station Context”
Ø 1-3 blocks surrounding the station,
which will see the most direct
physical change from station
construction and operations
Ø Area of shared responsibility;
geography encompasses Sound
Transit, City, and others’ investments
Ø Work to align existing and planned
investments in service of community
priorities and accessibility needs

23
Station Context Framework
Ø Presents a concept for urban design of
the station and station context
Ø Shows how access, circulation, and
public spaces work together, and
highlights opportunities for adjacent or
joint development
Ø Raises up issues for community to
weigh, along with potential refinements
to carry into final design
