... feet or more closer to street level. It need only be inches above the street, if desired, for stations at street level, say, at a shopping center. You know...
hmmm, appreciate your thoughts but would not say transit is "readily available" now when the trip is 1.5 hours (this adds up to 60 hrs a month). Transit is...

Cleve, you beat me to it. I appreciate anyone who goes out of their way to take transit, but it really takes our eyes off the prize when we start talking up...
The whole notion of using public transit is somewhat skewed here in Seattle. I've posted a suggested method for King County Metro to improve things by...
Hmm, re-aligning the bus routes in King County -- is this analagous to re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic? Anyway, all valid proposals aside, I'm...
Chaarles: I read your essay but have these comments: 1. This "critical"/analytical approach isn't "nice." Don't you think there are lots of transportation...

I'll attempt to make this germane to the subject of the monorail by noting the hypocrisy of the political leadership of Seattle in forcing a fifth vote on the...
perhaps, however probably more a question of tactics (and when to employ them) than perhaps hypocrisy the Viaduct is in fact a rather thorny issue with support...
I'll tell you what, another stark contrast -- when it comes to hypocrisy -- is how Greg Nickels has moved heaven and earth to try to make the tunnel happen and...
As opposed to spending TWICE what the monorail would have cost (TOTAL) just to make up the difference between an underwater tunnel (extra $2 to 2.2 billion)...
Tunnel proponents: ha ha jokes aside, the extra cost of the tunnel versus the rebuild is about $3000 per person in Seattle. That means $12,000 for a family of...

So Cleve, what would your tunnel proposal have cost? And what do you suggest now be done about the viaduct? ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...
I thought it was $4000 per person, including babies and retired people, meaning for a family of four that it's the cost of four years of community college...
I would suggest that the letter below or something in your own words should be sent to the council members. This tunnel project is the least environmentally...
I've already writen to council and I don't think anything could be more clear and concise than the following: Should the Washington State Department of...
Most people wouldn't know that we the citizens of Seattle could be responsible for $10,000 per person or more if the consultants track history with tunnel...
The Gov, the Mayor, the SCC, TCC, Allied Arts, DSA, the Chamber... ... Viaduct yes/no ... $10,000 per person or more if the consultants track history with...
Perhaps more info than you wanted Mitch, but here goes: the Viaduct tunnel proposal is an economic crime because (a) it imposes a huge cost with (b) little or...

The problem with a yes/no vote on rebuilding the viaduct is that it does not result in a viable course of action if the voters reject the rebuild option. The...
again, who said anything about a tunnel? go get the requirements from the public - do you want an open waterfront or a rebuild. then let the engineers come up...
As with many things political today many statements are made over and over again and go unchalleged - one here is that the viaduct separates us from the...
I'm loathe to continue this thread on a monorail list, but must interject, but the Gardner Expressways in Toronto sits several hundred yards 4-5 blocks from...
Chad this has always been a forum that discussed many non monorail issues. My main point is to avoid the huge costs of building a tunnel. I would be happy to...
