An opportunity for an integrated rail and bus transportation hub at Seattle's Husky Stadium may be squandered according to this story and this op-ed article.
The ludicrous lack of coordination (one planner is quoted as saying the inefficient routes are "pretty much set") is the latest example of why the region's transportation planning needs to be better managed.
In a major step in the right direction, the state legislature is considering bills that would create a single government agency with authority to prioritize, plan and finance transportation projects for the entire metropolitan area.
This week the Municipal League of King County sent this letter to Gov. Chris Gregoire and legislative leaders Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen and Rep. Judy Clibborn urging a package that coordinates planning without undermining support for existing projects. (Note: I'm a trustee of the League.)
