But then, I'm sure you've got your reasons for characterizing it that way, because you're a serious cycling advocate who goes to the planning meetings and studies all the maps and diagrams and stuff.
And you realize of course this is the _second_ time they are doing this after ripping up what was already there for the grand old automobile which was going to end all our problems.
@13 I do love the irony in all this. But think how much winter entertainment we'd have lost out on over the years if they'd actually kept some of the streetcars (like the one up QA Hill), thus allowing people to get up and down without tempting fate (and ending up on YouTube) in their private vehicles or the bus. In fact, I think one snowy night of shots for (idiot vehicle) sliders is responsible for my complete avoidance of Tequila these days...
Another assault on individual liberty - social engineering programs like this designed to get us out of our cars and into inefficient trains and busses. Another scheme by the enviro watermellons (green on the outside, red on the inside...SOCIALISTS IN DRAG) to control our lives because after all, they are smarter than all of us. They went to Harvard!
@13 @15 ... not only that ... but to build the new line they are actually uncovering (and have to remove) some of the original streetcar infrastructure that was simply buried when the rails were removed.
@8: "Of course only 0.1 percent of the population can ride a bike up First Hill...or any hill for that matter."
Yet another idiot who doesn't actually live in Seattle talking as if he understands the geography of Seattle. Read a goddamned map of where the trolley is supposed to go before you fart out another rant.
That's a very strange way to describe the ten-foot wide separated bike track they're building parallel to the streetcar/auto lanes.

here are the plans including where the bike lanes will be

Your concern for the elderly is touching.
