No. We needed SB5412 to happen first :)

Thanks fmr councilman Lewis for the advocacy at the state level for this!

Good morning and welcome to the month where Seattle opens the only light rail line across a floating bridge anywhere in the world.

Looking around the city, it's impressive the degree to which we're using the amorphous concept of history as an excuse to not take action on a whole breadth of immediate issues.

Overheard in Pike Place from a five year old: “why are people driving over here?”

If you've been noticing 1 and 2 Line trains slowing down between International District and Symphony, it's because of a newly identified defect in the embedded rail at Pioneer Square.

It's set to be repaired just before the Crosslake Connection opens, during the March 21-22 DSTT closure.

Do you recall when the previous one was? Taylor + Mariners maybe?

Incredible. And without the cross lake connection! And downtown was so chill without all the cars. It was awesome.

We definitely should do that

Historically, cars have always existed in Pioneer Square so

The connection at South Bellevue makes a lot more sense imo

The lights on the i90 trail are back on after a two year hiatus!

It’s a better investment to build light rail in Seattle versus in Issaquah.

However, it’s still great to see enthusiasm in a suburb for transit.

"The closure will be in place 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, starting Monday, February 23. It is scheduled to last through March 20."

doubt you'll be able to use the restroom there either way!
unless they follow some European model ($1 / use)
