The Stranger has published an incredible overview of the aftermath of the monorail — what went wrong, who were the key players, and what were there motivations? Josh Feit goes straight for the jugular by taking on Mayor Greg Nickels, calling him hypocritical, cowardly, and a bully. He begins with:
… Nickels decided to throw out elevated transit with the trash, revealing that, despite the big-city posturing, he’s just a suburbanite at heart. Without keeping speedy, elevated transit in his equation for change, Nickels has negated any sense of an urbanist agenda.
Josh also has a lot of good things to say about 2045 Seattle and Christian Gloddy, its founder.
In even better news, The Stranger is considering making Mayor Gridlock T-Shirts based on this weeks cover. Email Dan if you’re interested.
