Seattle Axes Monorail Project

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday September 25, 2005 @03:58AM from the more-of-a-shelbyville-kind-of-idea dept.

Sokie writes "This afternoon the Seattle City Council passed a resolution advocating the terminiation of the Seattle Monorail Project. This follows a recent recommendation by the mayor that the project be scrapped. Lacking city support, the project looks to be dead and the city council will request that the state legislature formally terminate the project during their next session. City councilman Richard Conlin noted that the $1 million per week tax collection required by the SMP would be enough to eliminate fares on the city's bus network."

If the battalion of straw men doesn't fall over from your huffing and puffing, I don't see why I would need to.
