“Thank you. Thank you. Oh, I have some questions. So I've been to both the Seattle facility and the Bellevue facility. And when we were at the Seattle facility, it was before COVID, I believe. It only operated at night and early morning. And I don't know about the Bellevue facility because it wasn't open when we were there. And I would say when we were at the Seattle facility, I thought it was very noisy. Every time a train moved, it beeps three times and they moved a lot. And we're going to have more trains at this facility and it's going to be running 24 hours, I believe you said. So for the…”

“Which sounds amazing, and I like that. I just remember in the Seattle facility, because we were there at like 1 o'clock in the morning, I think 1 to 3, how noisy it was. And I couldn't imagine living next to that. So I'm hoping that something changes or some technology is new that that doesn't happen here.”

“Thank you. Could you put up the zoning for MetroFlex, that slide? Thank you, Heather, or whoever is doing it. First of all, thanks for being here. I appreciate it. Looks like Auburn has a really large area compared to what we have in Federal Way for their zone. Could we get more of an area since they have such a large area? And how did you pick the zone areas?”

“Square mileage for that for the areas, but we like I said we were you know trying to balance the quality of service with the Geography served here with both of these But is it so if I imagine this is going to take off I do think people will be using this If you get enough calls for service for Metro flex outside of the zones Before the two years are up. Will you consider expanding the zones I”

“So if somebody calls for MetroFlex and they're told you're not in the zone, does the operator, if they're on the phone, because I imagine we'll have people using the phone, will the operator then tell them about DART or the other options they might have for transit?”

“Because we could also let people know about that if we had the correct information, so we could help educate the public about their options for transit.”

“I just don't want it to be forgotten and that it goes to the bottom of the list. You know, we always hear that there's priorities and sometimes the things that council – are concerned about sometimes drop to the bottom. And since this seems it's a concern, and it's a very good concern, I agree with Councilmember Hamilton. I don't want it forgotten. So I would like it to be addressed sooner than later.”
