If you forgot, then it wasn’t important. *Add crossover*
#transit #subwaybuilder #game
A SubwayBuilder (game) meme that applies to agencies in real life too Meme format: “I think I forgot something.” “If you forgot, then it wasn’t important.” “Yeah, you’re right.” “Add Crossover”

There is a difference between having reliable transportation and having a car.

A spoof of Bruce's yard signs, with the bright green and orange he's used on both of his campaigns. The text on the sign reads: Re-elect Bruce Harrell- this is not the time for hope

In his closing statement, Harrell said, "This is not the time for hope. Passion and great ideas and inexperience is just not going to get us there. Trump will walk all over a person without experience, period."

Federal Way Link Extension pre-revenue testing will begin on September 24th! That means you’ll see 4-car trains running every 8-15 minutes on the extension, and passengers will be kicked off at Angle Lake!
Reminder: FWLE opens on December 6th, see you then!

Claudia Balducci asks “Do we need to build a second downtown tunnel? Do we need it at all? Do we need it the same way in the same configuration with the same sequencing?”

To answer this question:
Yes. We voted for a second downtown tunnel under 5th Ave with stops at Jackson, Madison, and Pine.

Who the fuck is telling elderly Chinatown residents in Seattle that 5th Avenue Shallow Diagonal will destroy Hing Hay Park and telling them to complain to Sound Transit about a problem that does not exist? (I know who.)

This article sucks. Yes, Kirkland fought Link out of Totem Lake, and the Issaquah station is on the outskirts today. But both of these cities do need a metro line, especially in 20 years.

What’s the *real* solution? (1/4)
Op-Ed: Sound Transit’s Light Rail Plan Leaves Kirkland And Issaquah Behind » The Urbanist
# Planned 4 Line light rail would stop well short of urban cores in Kirkland and Issaquah and not open until the 2040s. This makes bus rapid transit a better fit that can be deployed more quickly and ...

Can we just talk about how fucking insane this is? This is the 5th/Madison Midtown Station for Ballard Link Extension. The preferred alternative doesn't have this station, so we're fighting an uphill battle just to even have a Midtown Station. #soundtransit #ballard #seattle #midtown #chinatown
5th & Madison Midtown Station location alterative. This alternative is paired with everything EXCEPT the current preferred alternative for Chinatown. We are fighting an uphill battle just to have a station where we voted for it to be. But even if we win that fight, LOOK AT HOW DEEP THIS STATION IS. THIS IS FUCKING INSANE.

Bear with me, this one is complicated but I need to point this out.
1st pic: Voter-Approved WSBLE
2nd pic: Reasonable alternatives to study that fit the scope
3rd pic: Representative alignment, First Hill alternatives
4th pic: Alternative that skips the main hub altogether
(View the alt texts)
The West Seattle & Ballard Link Extensions map given to voters for ST3. This was the base model, everything subject to change, but not drastically. ST3 passed in 2016 and that includes what is on this map. A map showing the Chinatown station (Seattle's largest transit hub). There are four alignments shown. The first alignment (on the top) is the 4th Avenue Deep/Shallow alternatives. The second alignment is gray and hard to see because this is the current station and alignment that is open today. The third and fourth alignments are touching each other, the light green is the representative alignment shown in the first picture, and the darker alignment is a very similar 5th Avenue Shallow alternative. The 2 additional alternatives (not existing, and not the representative) are reasonable to study and are seen as well within the scope of the project. Three maps side by side, each showing the current line (blue), and a different version of the future line through downtown Seattle (green). The version on the left shows the representative alignment with a Midtown Station at 5th & Madison. The version in the middle shows a First Hill alternative with a Midtown / First Hill Station at 8th & Madison. The version on the right shows a First Hill alternative with a First Hill Station at Boren & Madison. Despite being very popular, and despite a First Hill Station being unfairly cut from the original line, these First Hill alternatives were cut from Ballard Link Extension for being "outside the project scope". A map showing the disastrous North/South alternative in the International District and Downtown Seattle (green), and how it connects (or doesn't connect) to the current line (blue/pink). As it says at the top, there is no Midtown Station. The "Chinatown" station is so far away from the current transit hub that it is literally closer to Stadium Station. Nobody likes this alternative, and yet somehow this *is* within the project scope. Hypocrisy.

Stations do show real-time arrivals. There aren’t any announcements yet, but the screens do show snippets of a service alert and of an arrival message. Very buggy but it’s expected as this is a test. Excited to see it working. Pictures below. #tacoma #soundtransit #link #transit #tech #pims
Union Station platform. Two PIMS screens. Left says: “(T)Tacoma Dome - 🛜4 min” “(T)Tacoma Dome - 🛜13 min” Right says: “(T)St Joseph - 🛜3 min” “(T)St Joseph - 14 min” Tacoma Dome Station platform. PIMS screen says: “T Line to” in white text centered top left with the rest of the screen black. This is similar to other lines but it’s missing the rest of the sentence which would probably be “T Line to St Joseph at outbound platform in 2 minutes”. Tacoma Dome Station platform. PIMS screen says: “(!) Service Alert” “seek alternate transportation options.” Tacoma Dome Station platform. PIMS screen says: “Tacoma Dome” This happened as blockage on the tracks caused the T Line to terminate at St Joseph so the screens were shut off. This is what happens on other lines too, when something is broken, it only shows the station name.
