go Redmond update: Line 2 daily ridership about 10,000; program shares commute and weather resources
Summary
Linnea Taylor of the city's go Redmond program reminded residents the program helps find alternatives to driving, revealed Sound Transit Line 2 daily ridership has reached roughly 10,000, and directed residents to weather information on the city website and the National Weather Service.
Linnea Taylor, who said she oversees the city’s go Redmond program, opened the briefing with a description of the program’s purpose: helping residents find commute and travel options to leave their car behind and reduce environmental impact.
Taylor introduced a commute trivia question about daily ridership on Sound Transit’s Line 2 after its extension into downtown Redmond. She revealed the answer later in the briefing: “Daily ridership on the 2 line has reached 10,000 people a day.” Taylor added that ridership could increase when the line connects to Seattle later this year in time for the World Cup.
Taylor also reminded residents where to find information about weather events affecting Redmond and advised those wanting the most up-to-date conditions and forecasts to consult the National Weather Service. The briefing did not include additional ridership breakdowns, demographic details, or a formal transit presentation beyond the ridership figure.
