  1. Who ever wrote the press release needed to do a little bit more research: they did not mention the bus line that actually gets you closest to the location: Line 8, which goes down Broadway.

    As for the bridge, I am happy to see that they are building it, since unlike the tram it will be of use to the people in the CTLH neighborhood west of I-5. Overall, the views from I-5 will be much different when South Waterfront is all done.

  2. Anyone know what the construction timeline is?

    Any renderings floating around?

    Any report-backs from the meeting?

    Personally, I can’t wait to see the west end of the Ross Island untangled as well!
