Redmond's Downtown Rail Car Has Capacity For 800 Riders - Will Run Every Eight Minutes

Rendering of the Downtown Redmond Station

 Behind the sign two cranes are working on the Redmond light rail station / rail bed.  

"4-car" trains run every 8 minutes on weekdays.  Each "4-car" train can carry 800 riders, 16 wheelchairs, 8-12 bikes, and a desigated area for luggage.  But how will the riders and handicapped get to the station or park near it? Walk or take a LIME scooter? I think there's bus/van service but Sound Transit is silent on parking.

Travel times from Redmond:
18 minutes to Downtown Bellevue
42 minutes to Downtown Seattle
45 minutes to the Stadiums
49 minutes to University of Washington
56 minutes to Northgate
69 minutes to Lynwood
72 minutes to Sea-Tac airport
87 minutes to Federal Way
