Key priorities for the I-405/44th Station:

Key priorities for ST3 Light Rail Study – Renton-to-Burien:
o Important that this voter-approved ST3 package begins and is completed
prior to ST4 going out for a vote
Other important issues for Renton:
o Complete “System Access” grant funding for S 7th St Multi-Use Path,
potentially with I-405 BRT Access Allowance
