Nickels’ crystal ball

by Goldy — Friday, 7/17/09, 10:30 am

Future Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels in 1989 on the completion of the I-90 floating bridge:

”It’s a dinosaur,” Greg Nickels, a member of the King County Council, the governing body that covers the Seattle metropolitan area. He said the transportation solutions of the next century would include light rail systems and car pools.

Twenty years later, light rail is about to open, and soon to be extended across that very same bridge.

You can read Mayor Nickels in his own words, about the significance of tomorrow’s milestone, in a guest post over at Seattle Transit Blog.

    Goldy, great quote! Hopefully we can kill the Viaduct – it’s just the same.

    How about some of those great quotes as to how light rail would relieve traffic congestion?

    So, the good mayor advocates using a ‘dinosaur’ as the foundational infrastructure for light rail……

    Sounds about par for the course for a liberal.
