University Link Extension
The University Link Extension is a future subway light rail extension of Sound Transit's Link Light Rail system in Seattle, Washington, USA. The line will connect downtown Seattle with the University of Washington via Capitol Hill. The line was approved by the Federal Transit Administration in November 2006. Construction began in late 2008, completion of the University Link Tunnel excavation occurred in July 2013, and the line is scheduled to begin operation in 2016.
==History==
Sound Transit began the federal grant process in August 2005 for a US$750 million grant that would allow Sound Transit to build the $1.9 billion project to connect the University of Washington and Capitol Hill to Downtown Seattle without increasing local taxes. In November 2005, the line received the FTA's best rating of "High".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=University Link )〕 During a visit in November 2006 by Transportation Secretary Mary Peters and Senator Patty Murray, it was announced that the line had passed its third of four milestones to get the grant when it received federal approval to complete its final design. In January 2008, the Federal Transit Administration announced that they would finance $830 million of the cost for the construction of the line after Sound Transit agreed to add $127 million in contingency amounts to cover unseen costs of the tunneling.〔 〕
After years of negotiations, Sound Transit reached an agreement on disruption and construction
with the University of Washington in 2007. As part of the agreement, Sound Transit moved the preferred site of the first University station near Husky Stadium and the University of Washington Medical Center, instead of at 15th Ave NE and NE Pacific St.〔(Light rail showcases new plans in Kane Hall )〕 An additional station serving the university will be at NE 45th and Brooklyn as part of the Northgate Link Extension opening in 2021, approved by voters in November 2008 as part of the Sound Transit 2 (ST2) package.
