There is a growing movement in Tacoma to expand/bring back their streetcar system. I don’t know enough about Tacoma to know whether it is something useful, but if ST2 brings Link all the way to Tacoma, you could imagine this being pretty useful.

Intersting. This is good. I wonder have you heard anything of the waterfront streetcar? I haven’t heard anything of that since there was drama there as well. If there is one thing don’t like about some political actions regarding transit here in this area, it is that issues never get updated. I have to turn to the good bloggers.
It is still out of service. It is supposed to be back up this year, I’ll ask someone in metro.
Yeah, and what will happen with the waterfront streetcar if they replace the viaduct with surface/transit? I thought that the plans included widening the current four lane surface road, so would they have to move the streetcar and close it down again?

Probably. With the olympic sculpture park, the street car lost its barn for storing and repair trains, I don’t know how the surface-transit proposal will look, but let’s hope they include the street car.
