Over the past few months Sound Transit representatives have been completing field work and collecting additional data as civil and wetlands survey work is completed in the public right-of-way and on private property where permission has been granted.

Geotechnical drilling started this Monday in Mountlake Terrace and soon noise monitoring and vibration testing will begin in the public right-of-way and on private property where right-of-entries have been secured. Expect to see teams of field staff working in several neighborhoods along the Northgate to Lynnwood corridor close to Interstate 5 in the coming months as information is being collected and analyzed to better understand the potential impacts of the system.

Sound Transit appreciates the cooperation and assistance from property owners and jurisdictions for allowing property access. A handout describing the field work is available in the document archive.
