Updated vision statementIn late 2017 Sound Transit gathered public input on the “look and feel” of the new garage, to ensure it fits with the surrounding community. We’ve now updated its design with help from city staff and design leaders to incorporate ideas from the new Town Center Plan.

The ideas at right will be included in project requirements for the contractor that designs and builds the garage.

n Use a variety of materials, textures and colors to bring aesthetic detail to the façade.

n Distinguish the ground floor, in keeping with the City of Sumner’s Station District standards.

n Prioritize the north and west sides of the building with a prominent pedestrian entry, weather protection and features that complement Main Street.

n On the south and east sides, include screening and smaller openings to minimize visual impacts on residential neighbors.

Examples of potential design features
