Ballard light rail is arguably the biggest development project planned for the neighborhood since the construction of the Ballard Locks and the Ballard Bridge. And now Sound Transit is ready to start gathering neighborhood input.

The first “open house” is set for Thursday, Feb. 15, at 6:30 p.m. at the Leif Erikson Lodge. Sound Transit says it will “introduce you to the project team, share information, answer your questions, and get your input on the project.”
