Sound Transit: Consider another option

Re: “Be bolder to get light rail done, expert panel tells Sound Transit” [March 3, Traffic Lab]: The article showcases Sound Transit’s want to cut back prices and time. A panel of outdoor consultants advises taking “a more durable line coping with 53 native governments, which generally view transit initiatives as a piggy financial institution for native streetscape enhancements.” In Lake Forest Park, involved residents are asking for modifications to ST3 design which might considerably scale back prices and development time: construct bus queue jumps and smaller bus cease pull outs, relatively than a devoted bus lane on the east aspect of Bothell Means. Along with saving many thousands and thousands of {dollars} and plenty of months of development time, queue jumps would save lots of the 490 timber slated for elimination in Lake Forest Park.
