Until that is resolved, rapid transit will be like the rest of us: choking down into a purpose made SDOT funnel into Seattle. Further, what this language fails to address is how much land ST must acquire from property owners along the east side of Bothell Way in Lake Forest Park, between the Kidney Center and up to just south of where 41st Avenue NE connects. Further, ST has to address the undersized culverts that run underneath Bothell Way NE where McAleer Creek runs under the highway (federal lawsuit response). ST can claim these timelines but just the demand for right of way acquisition on the east side will bog the process down for years, even with highly suspect condemnation proceedings (and the inevitable lawsuits that would occur). I just wish ST, for once, would be honest about their project timelines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
