City Inside/Out: Monorail Measure
City Inside/Out: Monorail Measure
10/10/201429:19

This fall, Seattle will vote on a monorail measure for the sixth time. Seattle Citizen Petition No. 1 would impose a $5 city-wide car-tab fee to help fund planning for a monorail line connecting downtown Seattle with West Seattle and Ballard. But critics contend taxpayers have wasted millions on past monorail proposals and argue Sound Transit already has plans for light rail in the same corridor. Should voters resurrect another monorail plan? Or did that train leave the station a decade ago? Hear why monorail supporters Bill Popp and Dick Falkenbury have opposing stances. Joining us in studio to debate the measure are Seattle Citizen Petition 1 sponsor Elizabeth Campbell and Seattle Subway Political Director Jonathan Hopkins.
