Actually you are both wrong. Capacity and volumes are very different things, don't mix them up. You know better. And Lincoln you have some interesting math. Do you work on wall street? Doug if you want to talk about road diets, talk about road diets, don't bring in your favorite ...

Brian you're really pushing the limits of absurdity claiming that a 4+ billon dollar tunnel is necessary to improve biking downtown. That certainly is a worthy cause but if the city spent just 1% of what the tunnel cost on bicycle infrastructure you could build more bicycle infrastructure than the ...

I could have told you this process was off on the wrong foot the minute I saw who was appointed to the panel. From the press release in February, "The geographically balanced 28-member task force...". Need I say more.

Great point Alex. I never sat down and thought about it like that, although in transportation obsessed Seattle I think infrastructure has always held a higher place in the publics mind than it did on a national level.

Jordan I think you make a good case coming from your perspective. Free flow of freight is essential for a strong and prosperous economy. At the same time new road construction that increases accessibility of rural and less developed areas at the fringe of the UGA will only encourage sprawl, ...

Yeah great summary. Too bad you can't have the best of both.

Great piece. Thanks. I love architectural critics that make me laugh because they are so one the money.

The last two paragraphs are very out of place. What are they all about and why did you choose to end the piece with them?

"Three Democrats: a onetime community organizer, a green activist, and a champion of gay rights." Where is Mallahan? He is neither the first, second nor third. Lets not start making up facts. Someone that doesn't vote ten times since 2000 is no "community organizer". It is obvious you support Mallahan ...

All of this goes back to the fact that we don't have the land use patters in much of the county that support transit use. Seattle and Bellevue are dense enough that transit service both comes efficient and practical. The problem with treating all of the urban growth area of ...

Knute I see where you are coming from and I completely agree. We have to slow down if we want to improve our life. I think it will contribute greatly to our quality of life. With that said if I understand you correctly I think your notion of lesser Seattle ...

To me this "grand compromise" sounds like a political stunt by those who are trying to defeat a surface option. They are warping themselves in a flag of compromise when really all they are advocating for is a tunnel (think at least 3 billion dollars). After all if a tunnel ...

A few notes: I got my hands on some ridership data a month ago and I create a series of graphs to help compare ridership data on metro routes. I also created some graphs that show the relative ridership of LINK, SkyTrain, Rapidride and 89/99 B-Lines. I wrote a long ...

Too bad it is true: Thanks for the outsider perspective.

1 Year Later: I think the author should keep ST's history in mind. The last time an ST ballot passed was in 1996... a year after 1995, which is when the RTA failed. One year can make a big difference. In retrospect it would have been amazing if ST2/RTID passed. ...
