Sound Transit plans to begin building a 2.4-mile light rail extension in Tacoma in 2018, if the agency secures the necessary funding for the project. The preliminary cost estimate is $175 million.
On Thursday, the Sound Transit Board chose the route. The expansion will go from the current stop by the Pantages Theater downtown to the Hilltop neighborhood by way of the Stadium District. Six new stations are planned for the system, with trains primarily running the streets along Stadium Way, North First Street, Division Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr., Way.
