If you haven't done so already, the early scoping period for Tacoma Link expansion ends today.  So get those comments in! Or Fill out a survey!  Instructions below.

Phase 2 analysis (October - April) will narrow down the corridors to those that meet criteria established by the public and Sound Transit.  The whole process of actually picking an alignment and technology should be finished by next April.

There will be more opportunities to comment, but if you want a new alignment put on the table for consideration, you should probably make your thoughts known to Sound Transit by the end of today.
