Does everybody realize that within the SPMA "repose" legislation, not only do they seek to dissolve the SPMA, they also seek to ban any new monorail...
That is rail-convertable. If you think of the bus tunnel, you'll understand how what we think today may not be useful tomorrow, but the lift capacity and...
I can only justify posting this here because Mr. Licata notes the importance that the mayor and city council placed on having the citizenry vote on the...
another issue that folks should also be aware of is that the tunnel will not have any downtown exits/entrances - namely Seneca, Columbia bet few knew that....
I keep hearing this "But we got to vote on the monorail and light rail" argument. But the comparison really is misleading. If the tunnel option survives, the...
Oh, where am I coming from on this issue? I'm talking not so much as a tunnel supporter as I am as a rebuild opponent. I kinda hope the tunnel and rebuild...
Dear Chad: Saying we get a vote on RTID is not a way to show we get a real vote on the tunnel. First, the RTID vote is tied to many road projects. Second,...

Cleve, tell ya what, if you -- unlike Cary Moon -- are really riled up about not getting to vote on tunnel-vs.-rebuild, I believe Will Affleck-Asch has founded...
Mitch, supporting a vote only if a particular outcome results is opportunistic. It is posible to support various principles (like voting, or accountability for...

I knew that. Heck, I kept posting about it on the PI, Times, and Stranger websites ... Say it after me - boondoggle. No added capacity. Takes away ability...
Don't rile me Mitch. You know I could get the signatures - I've had four people volunteer to help gather them. Don't need many, either. I'm trying to let the...
Okay Cleve, in all seriousness, let me expand on my original point. We're talking about two kinds of votes here: A. A pick-your-design vote. B. A funding...
P.S. Concerning something else Cleve said: "And suggesting someone does not 'really' believe a position unless they go volunteer for it is not a substantive...
Thanks for the SLOG, Josh! Now how about The Stranger pointing out this obvious double standard: Too expensive: A ~$4 billion, 14-mile long project, that would...
The issue with Light Rail on 520, is that it can't join the tunnel that crosses under the Montlake Cut unless it starts to enter it out in the lake. If the...
In a town hall Senator Luke Esser told us that there is no reason the HCT on 520 couldn't be changed to roads in the future. In another Sound Transit Meeting I...
noted with thanks. Sarcasm is often un-perceived and un-appreciated in emails. Is there an emoticon for sarcasm? ... From: mgitman@... To:...

Mitch, wow, a large expansion into new territory. I do not feel the need for a big response; most of this expansion of does not talk about my point which is...

Unless it goes over to Husky Stadium. Oh. Bet you never thought of THAT. Will...
having the 520 light rail turn and go into the tunnel under the ship canal is not necessary for the goal of having light rial on 520 that allows a light rail...

Ok, So assume that the 520 light rail doesn't connect to the UW tunnel at Montlake for the following exposed reasons. 1) Entry from the brige itself would...
No, not OK, you did not respond to my point. Maybe I was not clear enough. A "connection" does not mean the rail line on 520 physically must go down into the...

Hi Cleve, It's not that you aren't clear in your email. It's that neither you nor Sound Transit nor Will have thought through the other part of making 520 rail...
Hi Gary: thanks for your note. All I said was a walking transfer is usually how transfers are made -- so the expansion of views and assumptions about me...

Hi Cleve, Well the PRT folks would argue that a horizontal elevator system wouldn't have any transfers. But I won't be labor the point, and it's not the system...
Hi Gary and Cleve, As one of the "PRT folks" you mention, I would indeed argue that PRT would not require a transfer. PRT vehicles are also so light (lighter...
Brief, belated response to Cleve... I appreciate your acknowledging the distinction between a funding vote and a design vote. As noted, the issue I have is not...
