Sound Transit Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)

In November 2016, voters in King and Snohomish counties approved the Sound Transit 3 (ST3) Plan that includes a SR 522/NE 145th Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line running through Lake Forest Park. Sound Transit began its community engagement and collaboration process in 2018. Throughout the project, the City Administration and elected officials have advocated for the residents of Lake Forest Park to ensure a project outcome that preserves the character of our city.

The table below links users with city council agenda documents and videos for meetings where the Stride BRT line has been a topic on the agenda.
