Mercer Island and Sound Transit are in discussions that will significantly alter the flow of buses on the north end of the island, with likely significant impact to all Islanders.  The public has not been informed of the ramifications of these changes, nor provided the necessary time to develop a full understanding of the changes that involve a complex mix of bus, train, parking, and development.

Given the significant long-term impacts, the council should provide a clear, comprehensive plan that includes a detail of the 'final' details when the train, bus routes, and downtown development are complete.  This plan should include details on commuter parking, bus traffic, site development and other elements that will be involved.  This plan should then be put to a vote of the people of Mercer Island.
