Over 60% of West Seattle residents voted in favor of expanding light rail. Those voters deserve to be heard and to have their projects delivered without further delay. It’s no secret that costs have increased. Across the country, transportation project costs have grown. However, highway project costs have increased more dramatically and are still funded. In the face of rising costs, the answer is not to delay; delay only adds more expense. By selecting a project to build and moving into the design phase, Sound Transit can get a clearer estimate of the actual costs, explore ways to reduce costs, and get the project ready to build. The Sound Transit board needs to put Sound Transit staff to work and direct them to reduce costs through the design process. It should also task our federal delegation to identify federal grants to fund this work. Tell Sound Transit no further delays! We must deliver these projects on time to voters, and get West Seattle Link done. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-the-sound-transit-board-deliver-on-promises-to-voters
