With about three months to go before it opens, this is the second installment of my recollections on the long road travelled to build our Sound Transit Light Rail line.

We'll soon find out if light rail operating in Seattle is "transformative!" Or do I mean "transforming?" Or "transformational?" That is, truly changing the life of the city.

Here is one of the responses I got from sending that letter out:
"The R8A ramp will be built by 2014 and my budget includes $10 million this biennium for preliminary engineering that... Read More’s needed to meet the 2014 completion date. We also need to ascertain the value of the center lanes that Sound Transit will take over. This bridge was built with federal funds, and the federal government requires us to get a fair value for these lanes. Some have suggested the lanes are not worth any money, while others have suggested they’re worth $2.8 billion. It’s going to be somewhere in between, and I think the answer will be much closer to the lower end of the range. The study will give us the answer to this question. Once we know the value of the center lanes, we will be able to negotiate a final agreement to turn them over to Sound Transit to put light rail across the I-90 bridge.

One of Kemper Freeman’s misleading criticisms of Prop. 1’s light rail expansion plan is that the line will only serve about 1 % of daily riders. What he leaves out is that he’s talking about riders over a 24-hour period. Our ...
