Documenting Seattle's Next Infrastructure Upgrade

Goodbye Waterfront Streetcar


Posted by Frank on April 11 2008

Looks like the plan to put a new maintenance barn in Pioneer Square has been scrapped, which makes sense, since any new solution would have to be mothballed during viaduct construction anyway.

Let's all now focus our energy on some modern streetcars that can serve the western edge of the city more effectively. With the waterfront under construction, car-restricted 3rd Avenue seems like a logical N-S route for such a line.

Actually I'll just post about it.
