    WSB. Has the city said what the cause of the camera failures is? They’ve been out for more than a week now.

    Gondola fans should go stand on a ridgetop or the lower bridge today and calculate the costs to stock the gondolas with airsickness bags and employ cleanup crews. Or stay home and come up with a viable plan to move commuters during weather shutdowns.

      So light rail will NEVER be affected by weather??? I know busses are.

    …and you’ll need a viable plan that doesn’t include the use of Link Light Rail      https://mynorthwest.com/592708/sound-transit-chose-the-right-i-90-bridge-to-run-its-rails-over/
