SkyLink is an urban gondola we propose as an alternative to the expensive, intrusive light rail system that Sound Transit is planning for West Seattle. (www.westseattleskylink.org)

I subscribe to this community by RSS feed. I saw the headline and ran over to this thread as fast as I could.

The light rail is going to come with displacement. My kids go to Mode Music, which will be displaced. We love the Skylark and hang out there regularly, which will also get the axe.

It’s a super bummer because we love those places, but a gondola is fuckin crazy talk.

Ain’t. Fuckin. Happenin.

Dense residential is the future and the Delridge neighborhood is primed to do it. It’s affordable by Seattle standards and there’s a ton of ground ready to build to the sky.
