A new web site focusing on the closure of the downtown Seattle transit tunnel was recently launched. Seattletunnel.org provides information on a variety of closure-related topics including:

• How retrofitting the tunnel will help downtown Seattle
• Efforts underway to minimize the closure’s impact on downtown Seattle
• What to expect during the tunnel closure
• What to expect when it reopens

Beginning in April, 2005, the web site will also include details on a package of new programs and incentives being designed specifically to ease commutes during tunnel construction.
