SURVEY: West Seattle Junction Association wants your thoughts on SW Alaska’s possibly semi-carless future

As a followup to last week’s walking tour (WSB coverage here) about SDOT‘s plan for Junction street changes when light rail arrives, the West Seattle Junction Association wants your thoughts on the plan. SDOT first circulated its concepts in a survey on which we reported in 2024. Nested in that 2024 survey – as detailed in this PDF we obtained at the time – were the stirrings of some potentially dramatic changes to SW Alaska, also seen on page 46 in this SDOT document. That in particular is what WSJA is focusing on with their new survey, which they asked us to share with you. Answer the new WSJA survey here.

Light Rail Brings Changes to Mercer Island

Since the Light Rail opened this March, Mercer Island has seen an increase in pedestrian traffic and changes in how police monitor and respond to activity around downtown MI. The Mercer Island Police Department has created a Town Center Officer Unit (TCO) to address light rail concerns, and coordinated with Sound Transit for station tours to familiarize officers with the layout. The City and Department determined at least two officers should focus on the downtown and the light rail station. The MIPD’s patrol strategy has remained mostly the same, however the TCO Unit reduces the size of the area needing that attention.
