OK, Mayor, you win -- tunnel!

Time for new realities. With the absolute rejection of the monorail and the state's decision to not roll-back the gas tax, the mayor's transportation wishes have been granted. There was no reason for Ballard or Capitol Hill or Wedgewood or, heck, even Queen Anne to back the Green Line with no clear path to its extension -- let alone the addition of a ROYGBIV's worth of connecting lines. So it goes. The mayor, now that he is done with his political strangulation, will have to start building. Everything is on the table again. We're even willing to reconsider the tunnel option for the viaduct -- sorry People's Waterfront Coalition, new realities.
