NEW OP-ED// Op-Ed: The $10 Billion Question Sound Transit Has Never Asked By Travis Henderson via @theurbanist.org

theurbanist.orgOp-Ed: The $10 Billion Question Sound Transit Has Never AskedElevating the next light rail line through Downtown Seattle could save $10 billion, more than enough to close Sound Transit’s systemwide budget hole and get rail to Ballard much sooner. There’s just one problem: The agency has never officially studied the idea. It’s high time.

I'm just gonna post my public comment from the May 28 Sound Transit board meeting. That day, on record, I said these words to the full set of 18 board members. How has this aged? You tell me. 🧵

So what will happen in the 2029 realignment? Will you finally stop lying to yourselves and to voters, or will you find new things to lie about? What will you kill next? Everett? Issaquah? Graham St… again?

I guess I'll start: ✅West Seattle not actually shovel ready ✅West Seattle delayed past 2032 ✅New lies told (procedural, about fare gates) ✅Graham St killed again How long does Dave Somers think Everett Link has left?

West Seattle is NOT shovel ready. As much as I want it to, it WILL NOT open to riders in 2032. The Enterprise Initiative IS just another farcical realignment. Today, Ballard Link, Boeing Access Road station, DuPont Sounder, and the Sounder N Line all die. ST3 dies today.

Much of the rhetoric around not delaying the vote was *to protect* opening dates - if those dates were never based in reality, why the rush?

You are up to date.
