EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />NON -CITY PROJECTS <br />As stated earlier, one of the City's top priorities is <br />effective coordination with regional players to <br />ensure that the local and regional transportation <br />systems complement one another. A key element <br />of this will be proactive partnering with neighboring <br />cities, Snohomish County, WSDOT, Community <br />Transit and Sound Transit. <br />ROADWAY FACILITIES <br />There are projects outside of Everett's purview that <br />will affect travel in and around the City. Among the <br />most important projects are continued <br />improvements to the state highway system. This <br />plan assumes interchange access improvements <br />along 1-5 in downtown Everett, high occupancy <br />vehicle (HOV) lanes on 1-5 north of US 2, and US 2 <br />westbound trestle replacement and widening. This <br />plan also highly supports extending SR 526 between <br />1-5 and US 2. <br />TRANSIT FACILITIES <br />Sound Transit's plans to bring light rail to Everett <br />are central to how people travel in 2035. The City is <br />working cooperatively with Sound Transit to identify <br />an alignment that fits within Everett's existing land <br />use and transportation framework and which <br />interfaces efficiently with existing transit services. <br />The City will also work with Everett Transit and <br />Community Transit to identify how local transit <br />services can better integrate with regional services <br />and serve Everett's growth centers. <br />TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 56 <br />
