Southcenter Plan Book 1: Community Intent <br />I <br />-*Sounder <br />f Transit <br />Station <br />Z <br />Figure 1.4 Strengthen pedestrian connections between activity centers and transit <br />The Tukwila Longacres /Amtrak Station will be designed to be attractive, accessible and <br />interconnected to the workings of the Southcenter as a whole. The station will ultimately include a <br />new plaza, with adjacent multi -modal facilities such as a bus terminal, "kiss- ride" drop off, and a <br />park- and -ride lot or garage. In addition, the overall network of transit in Southcenter will be <br />improved, including more frequent bus service and better links between bus, light rail and train <br />service. <br />Finally, the bus transit center will be improved to provide a transit interchange that is well- served <br />by and integrated with its surroundings. New pedestrian paths and public sidewalks will lead <br />pedestrians from surrounding areas to the Southcenter Transit Center. The most heavily used <br />route, from the Transit Center to the Mall, has already been improved with a covered walkway <br />leading directly to a Mall entrance (Photo 32). <br />W: \Long Range Projects \Southcenter Plan \Plan 2011 \Book 1 \FINAL Book 1_12.7.2011_PC.docx Page 26 <br />12/7/2011 <br />30 <br />
