Sound Transit 3’s investment in parking is likely critical to some voters’ support to expand light rail deep into the suburbs — north to Everett, east to Issaquah and Redmond and south to Tacoma. But some say it’s too costly and a waste of land. Updated
This is why the issue is so effed up. I agree that park and rides are a necessity if we are creating or version of LA .. replacing endless LA style suburbs with endless Seattle style suburbs served by light rail instead of 20 lane highways.
What I want to see is a plan for urban planning before then. ST3 should have light rail combined with a lan for creating high density housing in Everett and Tacoma. High density housing implies local transit.
