All volunteer organization. We want what it sounds like we want.
One option is to build the pink line south as part of an ST4 package, and then elevate the 1 Line through Rainier Valley

The decision last week from the Sound Transit board to leave Ballard Light Rail extension unfunded is downright outrageous. So make your voices heard! Sound Transit board needs to feel that pressure every single day until Ballard is funded.

There's been a lot of discussion about bringing transit projects to 100% design. The Center City Connector has been at 100% design for nearly ten years. It was almost fully funded, with a $75 million federal funding agreement. Pre-construction work had even begun. It is now considered "dead."

To the Mayor's credit, she voted for the Ballard starter line amendment amongst the other important ones. Now we need her to lead the way for Ballard rail like she did for Graham St.

The board should not have passed the resolution. The enterprise initiative has been a rushed, flawed process and now the 4th iteration of the board cutting projects in the face of "unforeseen" circumstances. Sound Transit is failing fundamental tasks of planning, communication, and transparency. š§µ

Tomorrow, the Sound Transit Board is voting on amendments to the proposal that cuts Ballard out of the Ballard Link Extension by only funding construction to the Seattle Center. We support all of the proposed amendments, but #12 is crucial to get a date to Ballard under the current resolution.

This is a pretty big slap in the face to King County. No dates attached effectively amounts to cancelation for Ballard. Look no further than Graham St and Boeing Access Road which were supposed in ST1 and supposed to be built by 2005 and are still being pushed off indefinitely!

Op-Ed: Reconnect and Automate Ballard to West Seattle Rail to Save ST3
Sound Transit can halve the cost of light rail to Ballard and West Seattle by building them as a connected automated light rail line with slimmer stations, according to two transit experts who have launched the Sound Transit Now campaign.

Sound Transitās search for a new CEO needs to be transparent. This is a consequential job and the region canāt afford a wrong move like letting the board self-deal. Beyond that, Constantine simply has not been an advocate for riders since ST3 passed.
