Despite vows to complete Ballard light rail, Sound Transit plan still falls short

Sound Transit’s Executive Committee is proposing to fund light rail expansion only as far as Seattle Center, with no construction funding identified for the Seattle Center-to-Ballard segment, despite recent board pledges to complete the line. Seattle City Councilmember Dan Strauss called the proposal unacceptable and is hosting a community meeting on May 11 at 6 p.m. at the National Nordic Museum, where Sound Transit representatives will address concerns about the project’s future.
