This requires a derrickito "statement of the obvious or mundane" reply.

Congratulations, Sound Transit and SDOT-- you're doing your job.

Awesome. Keep the transit coming. Bring on more density.

Boren to Seneca to Broadway. Gotta serve the hospitals, not to mention all the medical offices and SCCC too.

@3, too zigzaggy. A trolley line should look and be axial, not meandering. Broadway is fine for reaching the hospitals, it's downhill from there. But I'd love to see it run down 12th, where it would pass a lot of storefront spaces instead of the storefrontlless pedestrian deadzones of Broadway as it passes between Seattle U and Swedish.

run it along 12th. the 9th has way too much congestion and parking. 12th is wider.

I like 12th. It's right past my house. I worry about tearing it up, though. And they really should run up Denny to the SLUT.

hello? the waterfront trolley? where did it go? can we have it back, and maybe extend it to little saigon?

They can run it up 12th if the yank the parking. Bullshit if they destroy the bikeway like they did on Westlake.

@9, a downtown line is envisioned in the Seattle Streetcar Network Development Report, but I think it's likely to run up 1st Ave past the Market. It would terminate at Seattle Center and 23rd and Jackson.

Eric @5, nonsense. Trolleys need to go where people work and congregate in large numbers. Unlike regional rail, trolleys can make a couple turns along the way.

@12 - exactly. which is 12th.

Yesterday and today are not tomorrow. This won't be in operation until 2015.

AKA, Not A Monorail, Bus, or Lightrail Alternative.
