ALTERNATIVES 1B AND 8 IN PHASE III OF THE

a multi- corridor transit study to evaluate alternative transit plans and

complete and Metro and PSCOG are preparing to select light rail transit
(LRT) alignment alternatives for further analysis in Phase III of the study,

Phases I and II of the multi- corridor study and has determined that the
alternative LRT alignments known as Alignment No 1B (to Kent and Auburn via
the Duwamish industrial area and Tukwila) and Alignment No. 8 (to Federal
Way via the Duwamish industrial area, Tukwila and Sea -Tac Airport) would
best serve the needs of the citizens of Tukwila

south corridor is not anticipated until after the year, 2000, so that ample
opportunity exists for evaluation of these alternatives
