Sometimes legislators and elected leaders have to try things even if they ultimately get struck down or fail.

It’s still worth tryin!!!

My understanding is that we’d need a mayor/city government who endorses using the city’s right of way for transit projects…

Oh wait!

David Roberts The one exception might be this station in Ballard. But of course, that's — I don't even know what, 2035 or some ridiculous distance from us. So I just — my question is, is there any prospect, is there any way that that Ballard line of Sound Transit could happen sooner? Is there a tool, a mechanism that could make that happen? Katie Wilson It's a good question and probably my honest answer is I don't know yet. And as mayor, I will have a seat on the Sound Transit Board. But there is also a lot that the city can do to make Sound Transit projects happen faster and less over budget. I'm not going to promise anything more than that, but the city can be more creative at actually using our right of way. My understanding of the way that it's often done now is that the city ends up trying to cobble together kind of purchases of private property and is kind of reluctant to actually use our right of way.
