Engineering OK'd for 2 Link extensions

By JOURNAL STAFF

SEATTLE — Sound Transit has restored funding for preliminary engineering on the Federal Way and Redmond Link extensions.

Voters in 2008 approved the Sound Transit 2 ballot measure that included funding. The recession cut $4.2 billion from projected tax revenue for ST2 and forced officials to make cuts that included engineering for the two projects.

Recent projections show the recession's impact on ST2 funding through 2023 will be a 26.8 percent reduction, improved from an earlier forecast of 29.7 percent.

The Federal Way project connects Kent/Des Moines to the Federal Way Transit Center. The Redmond project connects Overlake to downtown Redmond.
