A tipper sent this in: a land use application for an 11 story building with the streetcar barn in its basement. It’s currently a parking lot. The building would have 130,000 square feet of office to go along with the streetcar lot.
It’s nice to know that something is happening on that front, though I think that building won’t be built for a while, and the even then, they are waiting for the viaduct to be finished before we get that streetcar back.
I found this application a while ago and went down to the site on September 30, 2007.

Web address did not work for me.
Which web adress doesn’t work?
This is probably what was mentioned in the reply to a question about the streetcar’s future in the weekend Seattle Times transportation q/a feature – the city responder mentioned they were hoping the streetcar would reside in a certain “project” that was on the drawing boards. Wondered while reading that if that was old news or new news.

You’ll have to double click it and copy/paste into a browser. Worked for me.
I saw the sign myself for the first time last weekend. It’s right across from Occidental Park.
