The county expects that the state and the federal government will reimburse the county for what Public Health - Seattle & King County (PHSKC) Director Patty Hayes called an an incredible down payment, she is hoping the local business community will volunteer its resources to help the vaccine rollout.

Your assertion that aerial gondola systems don’t “offer sufficient capacity or expandability to meet West Seattle’s needs long-term” is inaccurate. At 4500 passengers per hour, SkyLink will offer more than twice as much capacity as Sound Transit predicts West Seattle will need by 2040. Also, aerial systems are easily expandable, as they offer different system capacities for different throughput requirements. The SkyLink 3S system could be expanded from the Junction area station to link with the Admiral business district and the WS Water Taxi. And/or an expansion could run from the Delridge node to mid-Delridge or Westwood, and/or over the hill from mid-Delridge to Morgan Junction, or from the Alaska Junction area to Morgan Junction. All at 80%-90% less cost than extending light rail. Increased passenger requirements could be carried by BRT.
In Seattle, fare enforcement on Sound Transit is racist and evil.
Enforcing fares on Sound Transit is racist and our woke leaders on its board are using equity to tackle the apparent problem of punishing theft.
Using misleading data that doesn’t mean what they imply it does, the Sound Transit Board of Directors unanimously approved a new policy in a pilot that effectively allows fare scofflaws to get away with their crime. And in the process, the board takes a swipe at police because in 2020, the Left’s new enemy is law enforcement.
But what’s worse is that the race-obsessed politicians ignore an opportunity to actually address a potential issue.
