Transit Link light rail system by 7.8 miles from Angle Lake Station in
SeaTac south through Des Moines and Kent, terminating in Federal Way.
The route would travel along the west side of Interstate 5 and would
include stations at Kent/Des Moines near Highline College, South 272nd
Street, and the Federal Way Transit Center. The action by FHWA, a
Cooperating Agency on this project, is the March 9, 2017, approval of a
NEPA Record of Decision for the FHWA approvals required for this
project. The FTA, the Federal Lead Agency, issued a Notice of
Limitation on Claims for their actions on this project on March 22,
2017.

date of this notice and all laws under which such actions were taken. A
claim seeking judicial review of the Federal agency actions on the
listed highway project will be barred unless the claim is filed on or
before September 11, 2017. If the Federal law that authorizes judicial
review of a claim provides a time period of less than 150 days for
filing such claim, then that shorter time period still applies.
