In addition to new details of how the Capitol Hill light rail station construction will play out, Sound Transit also updated the Capitol Hill Community Council on the status of Mike Ross's jet art designs. ST says the plans are still moving forward but they continue to collect feedback -- and they had an interesting announcement regarding incorporating art into some of the business spaces left empty during the light rail construction process.

• ST continues to gather feedback about Mike Ross's work. ST said that majority of comments received to-date have been in support of the jet designs. The most effective way to be heard, ST said, is to take time to write a letter. Contact info here.
• They also announced a plan to incorporate art installations into nine or ten of the businesses left empty as they await demolition -- including the old Broadway Jack in the Box. To have your work considered, contact barbara.luecke@soundtransit.org
• At this time, ST isn't planning to make any of the empty spaces available for community events but would be open to the possibility if presented with a workable plan.
