Subject: Reminder: 1 Line disruptions April 14-23 

Greetings accessibility community,

This message is for 1 Line passengers.

Beginning Monday, from April 14-23, Sound Transit will replace a rail
section south of the International District/Chinatown Station. This work
will require a service reduction throughout the alignment. The damaged rail
limits operations to 10 miles per hour, causing ongoing service delays.

During this time, the 1 Line will operate in three segments. Trains will
operate approximately every 12 minutes between Lynnwood City Center and
Westlake and from Stadium to Angle Lake stations. Passengers must transfer
trains at Westlake and Stadium stations to continue to downtown Seattle
stations, where trains will run about every 25-30 minutes. Also, all trains
will use one platform from Westlake to Stadium stations. 

Passengers should plan for significant increases in travel time and consider
alternate forms of transportation, especially local bus service for those
traveling to a location between Westlake and Stadium stations. Bus routes
that provide connections between Westlake and Stadium stations are listed on
the 1 Line service disruption web page
<https://www.soundtransit.org/ride-with-us/1-line-service-disruption> . A
visual chart on the Navigating service disruptions web page
<https://www.soundtransit.org/ride-with-us/changes-affect-my-ride/navigating
-service-disruptions#1line>  shows other service options for every station
along the 1 Line. 

In addition to scheduled service, King County Metro will be providing a
"downtown circulator" bus on weekdays during the evening commute to help
reduce crowding, as described later in this email message.

Here are details of how each segment of the 1 Line will operate during this
work:
