Yep - The Park and Ride closed in December!

There are amazing things happening with the Mountlake Terrace Park in Ride..Construction is underway on a new four story five level parking facility in the lower level of the current Park N Ride.  The upper lot is being renovated to add additional parking as well.  The result will be a capacity for 890 cars which is about double of what the two lots together can take currently!

The parking structure is set to be completed in the first quarter of 2009 and then shortly after that even bigger improvements will happen.  Construction will then take place to complete a state of the art transit island in the median of I-5 with a bridge across to the parking structure.  The entire project is going to have a phenomenal effect on the quality of commuting from the Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, and Brier, Wa areas and residents should take notice!

During construction, many of the bus routes will still be running and transit has arranged interim parking spaces throughout the greater downtown Mountlake Terrace area.  A map of interim parking spaces and bus route pick up locations is available at http://www.communitytransit.org/download/MLTmapforweb.pdf.
