Reddick stressed the importance of understanding the neighborhood and holding public meetings to help neighbors feel included and informed. Several developers at the meeting tittered at a slide Reddick used to prove his point.

Transportation officials are brainstorming other methods to increase ridership. Car sharing may also relieve congestion, said Ron Posthuma, King County TOD program manager.
King County plans to begin a car-share project beginning next spring.
