Sound Transit finds a preferred path for Ballard Link Extension

By JOURNAL STAFF

A news release from Sound Transit says the board weighed community priorities, regional needs, input from agencies and the city of Seattle, analysis of alternatives in the draft environmental impact statement, and results of additional studies.
