Today at 11, there will be a press conference at Union Station.
A coalition of environmental and labor groups, including the Sierra Club, wants to see a Sound Transit plan on the ballot this year — as long as the plan meets certain conditions.
In a press conference slated for Earth Day, April 22, the ad hoc coalition will issue “a strong call to the Sound Transit board saying ‘go to the ballot in 2008,'” said Shefali Ranganathan, director of education and outreach at the Transportation Choices Coalition, one of the members of the broader coalition.

In addition to the Sierra Club, the coalition includes the Transportation Choices Coalition, Cascade Bicycle Club, Tahoma Audubon, Roosevelt Neighborhood Association, Futurewise, Amalgamated Transit Union 587, Environment Washington, Bicycle Alliance of Washington, Tacoma Streetcar, Fuse and WashPIRG.
Roosevelt Neighborhood Association? A neighborhood that wants light rail? What is happening to to our city? Sierra Club pleading Sound Transit to go to the ballot?
