It is about time.

I wonder if we'll replicate it well or botch it up.

Now if we can learn how to build real passenger rail service to surpass England's and we'll finally be doing a "little" better.

I have been wondering if this would be applicable up here. THe problem is, it would have to extend up to First Hill and Capitol Hill, as that is a big traffic generator as well. I used to walk down to the library from First Hill when my late father was dialysizing, and I dreaded crossing 6th and Madison, as during rush-hour, it is one long procession of free-right turns to get to the Freeway on-ramp. The traffic is mostly coming from the hospitals.

IF it were ever implemented here, I would have some of the money used for a bus-lane for the #10/12 buses to get down Madison St faster, as that route is slowed considerably by this traffic.

There is an article in the Seattle Times today about Road Pricing, and the preliminary results from a Puget Sound Regional Council study on the issue, including a demonstration project.
