<p class="MsoNormal">Dear accessibility stakeholders,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regarding the upcoming Link shuttle to be operated Aug. 12-13 between Capitol Hill and SODO, there has been a location change to one of the Link shuttle stops. The stop that serves Stadium station is now planned to be located on the SODO
busway at Royal Brougham S Royal Brougham Way (SE of intersection). Please refer to the
<a href="https://www.soundtransit.org/ride-with-us/1-line-service-disruption">1 Line service disruption web page</a> for an updated list of all Link shuttle stop locations served Aug. 12-13, as well as other details related to the Royal Brougham Way track replacement
service disruptions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a reminder, several 1 Line service disruptions are planned in August and September for necessary infrastructure repairs, maintenance and updates, including:<o:p></o:p></p>

<li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
Aug 12-13: 1 Line trains will run every 15 minutes between Northgate–Capitol Hill and between SODO–Angle Lake. Westlake, University Street, Pioneer Square, International District/Chinatown, and Stadium stations will be closed. Free Link shuttle buses will serve
all closed stations every 10 minutes. This is due to the Royal Brougham Way track replacement.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
Aug 14-20: 1 Line Trains will share one track at Westlake, University Street, International District/Chinatown and Stadium stations, due to the Royal Brougham Way track replacement. All trains from Northgate and Angle Lake will terminate at Pioneer Square.
All passengers traveling through Pioneer Square station will need to transfer to the opposite platform to continue their journey.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
Aug. 21-Sept. 3: 1 Line service will be single tracking (using one track for both northbound and southbound trains) at Othello and Rainier Beach stations at all hours. During this time, 1 Line trains to all destinations will use the southbound (to Angle Lake)
platform at these two stations so crews can perform platform maintenance, and trains at all stations will arrive every 12 minutes.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
Sept. 3-17: 1 Line service will be single tracking (using one track for both northbound and southbound trains) at Othello and Rainier Beach stations at all hours. During this time, 1 Line trains to all destinations will use the northbound (to Northgate) platforms
at these two stations so crews can perform platform maintenance, and trains at all stations will arrive every 12 minutes.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">
