I missed this, so sorry for telling you a day late, but they were talking about the Capitol Hill Station construction on KUOW. You can listen to the whole conversation in the podcast. It’s pretty interesting, and everyone seemed pretty satisfied with the community involvement that Sound Transit is taking part in with the Capitol Hill. There’s also a good discussion on transit oriented development, and what will be done with the staging area after construction is finished.
The funniest part for me is how Steve Scher seems to wish there was some contentious issue that was dividing the Capitol Hill community leaders and Sound Transit, but is unable to find one. It does seem that Sound Transit has learned from building the first line through the Rainier Valley.
I’ve always thought it was weird that the capitol hill station and the first-hill street car could be built at the same time. It seems like Sound Transit wants to kill broadway for half a decade.
It’s already in shambles, so eh, par for course
Does anyone know what the timeline is for the street car, by the way?
Done in 2016.
