[NFBSea] Downtown transit tunnel closures

Sat Oct 12 14:38:52 UTC 2019

Hi everyone,

Below is my email exchange with the sound transit staff person who will be attending our chapter meeting. It contains information about downtown transit tunnel closures over several weekends including this weekend. The link towards the end takes you to information about the tunnel closures and the shovels. That does include information about The streets where the shuttles are operating. I hope it’s helpful.

> Hi Kassandra,

> That’s great! I’m so glad you can join us on the 19th. I have CCed Michael Forzano on this email. Mike is the president of our Greater Seattle National Federation of the Blind Chapter. You and Mike can work out what time you should arrive and the length of time for our discussion.

> I have a question for you about the information you provided. The images do provide information about which streets shuttles will be operating on but not which side of each of those streets for the areas where there will be two way shuttles. Could you please provide this information to us so we can get that out to our members and other blind transit users? I think it’s important for us to have this information since there is a weekend partial tunnel closure between now and the date of our chapter meeting.
