Design workshop for 145th Street Light Rail Station Subarea

145th Street Light Rail Station Subarea Plan

Design Workshop

Thursday, June 12, 2014; 6:00-8:00pm

Council Chambers, Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Avenue N

Even though the trains won’t be running for nearly a decade, the City will spend the next year creating a subarea plan for the neighborhoods surrounding the future station.

Adoption of this plan will change land use and zoning designations, and regulations that influence neighborhood character.

The purpose of this workshop is to brainstorm possibilities for where new households and businesses should go; where transportation and environmental improvements are needed; how buildings and public spaces are designed; and other factors that affect quality of life.

Please join us and tell us what you would like to protect, enhance, or change about your neighborhood. 

Refreshments and child care will be provided.

This interactive workshop will focus on images and discussion of:

• Appropriate places to add density and uses like neighborhood businesses, shopping, and services;
•  Environmental restoration, such as stream corridor and natural area enhancements;
• Neighborhood features needed to enhance character, such as public art, gateways, and signage;
• Parking strategies;
• Sidewalks, trails, and other pedestrian and bicycle facilities;
• Intersection and crossing improvements;
• Affordable housing opportunities;
• Parks, recreation, and public art;
• Landscaping, lighting, streetscape furnishings, and safety features;
• Offices, industry, and other employment opportunities;
• Green features for buildings, rain gardens and other natural stormwater infrastructure, and district energy.
