This sort of stuff combined with the train situation really does feel like the start of an Ayn Rand novel.
I will say this is a remarkably small overspend for this sort of project though "Originally earmarked to cost no more than $968 million, the Port authority was forced to pump an additional $18 million into the project in 2021, but now there are fears an additional $78 million will need to be found to address the gate layout design."
Normally these projects at least double.
- eyelidlessness 4y agoWhat do you mean by “the train situation”? I get the subject matter connection with Rand, but I’m not seeing a connection with SeaTac which has had a light rail connection for many years now.
- cavisne 4y agoI meant more broadly the train crashes in the US, although the light rail specifically has also had problems https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/sound-transit-will-shell-out-millions-to-keep-pace-with-construction-delays/ https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/transportation/sou...
