For many years West Seattle has been the Stepford child of services from the city. Charlie Chong railed about it and splitting from the city and in my opinion we should have as a longtime West Seattle resident. The monorail was proposed ignored by the city government, then voted on again then ignored again and finally killed by the mayor who lives just happens to live in West Seattle. That was two years ago with no new movement on transportation or the viaduct to speak of.

I urge the approval of the bus idea but more so the streetcar idea which we had in West Seattle 100 years ago. This must move forward and should otherwise the city will abdicate yet another project and waste our time and money.
