Councilmember Drago Announces Streetcar Meetings
With the first street car line complete, the City has begun to look at an expanded Streetcar Network. Four potential new lines have been identified that would connect such neighborhoods as Fremont, Ballard, Eastlake, the University District, and the Central District to Downtown and South Lake Union.

Four potential new lines have been identified that would connect such neighborhoods as Fremont, Ballard, Eastlake, the University District, and the Central District to Downtown and South Lake Union.
The Seattle City Council wants your input and ideas on these proposed lines, and will be holding a series of community forums on the expanded network in early July. Each forum will offer a presentation on the four lines, and then give community members a chance to view them up close and offer feedback.
The forums are taking place as follows:
Wednesday, July 2nd: Proposed Central Line
Seattle City Hall, 600 Fourth Avenue, Bertha Knight Landes Room, First Floor, 4-6pm
Tuesday, July 8th: Proposed Ballard/Fremont Line
Nordic Heritage Museum, 3014 NW 67 Street, 4-6pm
Wednesday, July 9th - Proposed U-District Line
University Heights Center, 5031 University Way NE, 4-6pm
Tuesday, July 15th - Proposed First Hill Line
Yesler Community Center, 917 E. Yesler Way, 4-6pm

I think that Councilman Drago should take his proposal to Sound Transit. I personally don't think that we should start developing forms of public transportation that will be displaced by others that are under development, e.g., the subway extension of Sound Transit's rail link from the airport.
