Sound Transit will host an informational open house this week to learn more about proposed improvements to the Sounder Station in Puyallup. 

Staff will share conceptual designs for a proposed garage and other non-motorized access improvements at the station, and the public will also have the chance to comment on the environmental analysis for the project.

People unable to attend the event can visit an online open house at puyallupaccess.publicmeeting.info.

In the 2008 Sound Transit 2 ballot measure, voters approved funding for improving commuter access to Sounder train stations. Station improvements being considered include more parking, enhanced connections for pedestrians and bicycle users, and bus access improvements.

The open house will provide an opportunity to discuss and provide comment on the environmental analysis that examines the benefits and potential impacts of a proposed 503-stall garage, as well as other station access improvements. The Sound Transit Board of Directors is scheduled to select the project to build this spring.

The Puyallup Sounder Station open house will be held on Tues., Feb. 23, between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., at Puyallup City Hall, located at 333 S. Meridian, in Puyallup.
