Sound Transit construction alert for campus commuters

May 1, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Starting as early as Thursday, Sound Transit will begin to clear trees and vegetation near Interstate 5 in order to establish construction work areas where the light rail route will travel.

Work will begin near the intersection of NE 145th Street and I-5, near Jackson Park Golf Course.

The Lynnwood Link route emphasized reducing the private property acquisition and costs required for the project by prioritizing use of existing transportation right of way along I-5 where possible.

A centerpiece of the project’s design is replacing the existing trees with nearly four times as many trees when the project is complete.

Traffic impacts

  • There will be a southbound lane closure on 5th Ave NE with flaggers alternating traffic in both northbound and southbound directions.
  • The right shoulder will be closed on the I-5 northbound off-ramp to NE 145th St (see map).

This may happen as soon as Thursday, May 2nd, and the traffic revision will remain for approximately two weeks.

Work hours are 10am to 2pm for the first day and will change to 9am to 3pm when construction progresses south away from the NE 145th St off-ramp. 

The work zone is located between NE 130th St to NE 145th St (see map).
Work will start at NE 145th St and move towards NE 130th St.
Safety: Sound Transit asks that drivers focus on the road and keep traffic moving. Flaggers will be onsite to direct traffic.

Reminder: Please complete Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Survey by 5PM, May 3, 2019

April 29, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleague,

It’s time for our periodic commute trip reduction (CTR) survey! In order to comply with Washington law, Shoreline Community College is required to conduct this survey and to request that each CTR-covered employee complete it.

You are a CTR-covered employee if all of these apply to you:

• You work more than 35 hours per week
• You are scheduled to report to a single worksite between 6:00 and 9:00 a.m.
• You work on two or more weekdays
• Your position is intended to last at least a year

If all of these apply to you, please take the CTR survey by following the instructions at the bottom of this e-mail. Otherwise, please disregard the remainder of this e-mail and do not take the survey.

Please complete the CTR survey online, following the instructions below. If you haven’t already done so, please submit the survey by Friday, May 3rd, at 5:00 p.m. The survey will be closed after Friday, May 3rd, by the end of the day (5:00 p.m.).

All CTR-covered survey participants will be entered in a prize drawing to receive one of two preloaded $30 Orca cards, a $25 Amazon gift card, or a $15 Starbucks gift card. (These prizes are provided by King County, not the College.)

Completing the survey should take less than five minutes of your time. The questions focus on how you commute to and from work. Data collected through the survey will be used by the state to plan for transportation improvements. College staff will also review response rates, summary data, and comments.

If you have any questions, please contact Mary Lou Ames in Safety and Security at (206) 546-4633, or at: mames@shoreline.edu. Thank you for your participation!

Sincerely,
Edwin Lucero, Director
Safety, Security & Emergency Management
