Sound Transit faces rising costs, remains committed to West Seattle Link Expansion

Public comment offers alternatives and concerns

The Sound Transit Executive Committee met Sept. 19 to discuss the rising costs of the West Seattle Link extension and other projects in the ST3 program. Despite these challenges, the committee reaffirmed its commitment to delivering light rail to West Seattle and other communities across the region.

"We are disappointed to hear about the rising estimates of the cost for West Seattle and presumably subsequently for other ST3 projects," said Executive Committee Chair and King County Executive Dow Constantine. "But I believe the most prudent thing to do is not to be paralyzed by this, not to be overwhelmed by it, but to keep moving and to get these projects designed so that we can understand what the trade-offs are, what the hard choices that the board needs to make will be."
