Our upcoming work on these "Future Ready" projects is summarized in the attached news release that we are preparing toissue early next week. The first work to get underway will be the replacement of station platform tiles at Columbia City Station. Because the tilesare failing well short of their intended lifespan, creating hazards, single-tracking is necessary while the tiles are replacedand the platform is repaired. Completing this work now will impact far fewer riders than if we delayed it until after further expansions open. The next project will take place over two three-day periods in October in the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel (DSTT), aswe work on the overhead catenary system. This work will allow us to isolate future traction power shut-downs to specificzones within the DSTT, reducing future customer impacts. Currently, we have to close the entire DSTT when we areworking on projects within it. We will also be replacing and repairing the overhead catenary system in Tukwila, followed by more extensive work in theDSTT to repair and replace equipment and rails. Throughout this work, we will put intensive focus on passenger communications to ensure they are aware of the changesand can plan their trips accordingly. We need to ensure that our system is ready for the major expansions ahead. While the disruptions that this work willcause are unavoidable, we will work hard to minimize the impact. The end result will be a safe and improved systemready for our next phase of growth.
