Light Rail Ridership to Redmond Increased Three-fold

 


What they're saying:

Mayor Angela Birney said the expansion allowing riders to travel across Lake Washington is already changing how people move through the region. She says ridership in town has increased three-fold since the new line opened.

Mayor Birney believes the changes reflect broader growth in the city.

"We’ve created a lot of dense housing, opportunities for business  that just is different from the Redmond of old," said Birney. "We’re really making it a community where people can live and come visit, and really it’s become a place versus before where it wasn’t much to think about."
