This would eventually have good ridership as Georgetown develops. Or just run a line south on 4th to E Marginal and then out to the Museum of Flight.

You say that it's obvious that the bridge is pointless by looking at a map, but the facts say that 20,000 vehicles cross the bridge per day, far more than $90m (or even your weird $130m figure) worth of light rail would get per day.

The "weird $130m figure" is the amount reported in one of the dailies as the total cost of the replacement project.

The “weird $130m figure” is the amount reported in one of the dailies as the total cost of the replacement project.
