I feel like the DT Seattle stations would be the easiest to implement given the generous mezzanines. Wish we would also allow a cafe or something there too

My hot take: we’re letting good be the enemy of great. How about we make the sounder better/more frequent? Quadruple Amtrak cascades route? Dual track the tunnel under downtown Seattle!

All things doing for cheaper, faster, and easier. Wait for HSR for decades and still have shitty sounder servic3

Oh good question. I’m not sure

100,000 votes left. Seems far from over!

Anyone know if we get to ride these test trains as they pass through open stations?

I’ve said it before, it was such a mistake letting cities name their stations. Dropping „Downtown” from both would be so much less confusing

The title of an onion article or just 2025 in the US. I’m afraid to ask.

@bobby.langan.id yes! So down 🚲

I really like your version. The lanes are waaay to wide in so many parts of Seattle.

Totally agree. Allowing each city to name their stations with little thought on cohesion was a mistake. Lynnwood City Center (in a parking lot?), Bellevue Downtown, Downtown Redmond, etc. The names make no sense

I have mixed feelings. I’m sure it helps, but it feels more like a failure of all the other signage if you have to literally put arrows on the ground. Also it’s only in English, no airport symbol… ST let’s keep working on this.

Here's an image that shows how we usually classify apartment buildings (a lamella building in the left).
