<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all. First, thank you so much for agreeing to attend Sound Transit’s Northgate familiarization event. We are very proud of the progress we are making to improve access for passengers with disabilities and we are interested in your feedback
about what works for you and what could be better. Most of all, we hope you will feel more comfortable using Link light rail for some of your trips in the future.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On a personal note, I am recovering from surgery on my leg and will need to be more stationary during this event than I would like. This means that I will sometimes be sitting on a bench and I invite each of you to find me and give me any
feedback about the stations. Here is a picture for those of you who don’t know me, though thanks to COVID, my hair is much longer! I also recognize that this picture is not useful for everyone. Just ask for me!<o:p></o:p></p>
