The Project will extend the Link light rail system 3.4 miles south from the Redmond Technology
Station (opening in 2023 as part of the East Link line) to downtown Redmond. The Project was
initially part of the original East Link project but was postponed due to funding constraints due
to the 2008/2009 Recession. It will improve access to transit, reduce transit travel times, and
improve access to employment for minority and low-income populations along the Project path
(including East Link).

The Project will include construction of two new stations and the purchase of 20 new light rail
vehicles (LRV), as part of a planned 122 LRV purchase program, as well as train control and
signals, communications, traction power supply and distribution, and fare collection systems and equipment.
