How much did the land acquisition cost, though? I imagine that's relatively expensive in Seattle?

- TheCoelacanth 9y agoIt was mostly built in the right-of-way of existing roads, so it's probably not comparable to projects that involved a lot of land acquisition.
- so33 9y agoThat’s not true. The majority of the costs in the light rail project discussed (ST3) involves ROW acquisition, for above grade or underground rights of way. You may be thinking of the original light rail or Sound Transit 2. The original light rail was kind of a disaster but since then the management has changed; we will see how ST2, currently in construction, plays out.
