- edaemon 8y agoThey're closing a few downtown stops that saw low usage to speed things up, but it will still be sluggish. I think the only real solution would be to move the Red/Blue lines to the transit mall and put all the downtown track underground with a cut-and-cover tunnel. Also, the attempts to get the Yellow line into Vancouver fell through because the Washington legislature voted against it. There are renewed efforts to build it, though.
- ppseafield 8y agoYeah, not much we can do about WA. But that bridge is so old and has no shoulder. Any car accident means a huge slowdown. It'd be nice if we had elevated trains that didn't have to share with busses, cars, bikes, and pedestrians.
