Eastside Park & Ride Study

We’re exploring potential development concepts for two underused Park & Rides:
E 122nd/Menlo Park and E 181st Ave Park & Rides.

We received a grant from the Federal Transit Administration to study how to improve our E 122nd/Menlo Park and 181st Ave Park & Ride lots. We want to bring development that helps the community and neighborhood. Please review the information below and share your feedback.
