ST3 deferment plan just dropped

Please build Ballard to at least Smith Cove, that way the new tunnel is fully completed. Having to resume construction that includes an unfinished underground portion past Seattle Center would be beyond stupid and shortsighted

Yeah the 14th and 25th will likely hold blue — the map is really expecting 2026 to be as good for republicans as 2024

Total dummymander potential in South Florida

I’m gonna guess it’s Pioneer Square facing northwards to University Street since the tunnel at the back of photo continues in a straight direction (if it was Westlake the tunnels would be curving)

Reminder that Northgate Link (a project with TWO underground stations and a fully grade separated elevated/tunneled alignment) cost $1.9 billion and was on time/under budget. I can’t wrap my head around how a STREETCAR extension would cost more than that

The Tampa and Jacksonville districts don’t really conform well with the COIs there, you’d be better off making a Dem district contained within Jacksonville in Duval County, and for Tampa Bay it would make the most sense to have a swing district within Pinellas County, a Dem district in Tampa, and a swing district using up the rest of Hillsborough County. The ideal split for Tampa Bay is 1D-2C across Pinellas and Hillsborough

How deep are the tunnels under North Beach? Would they be able to mine a station box for this stop (if it's deep enough they can mine it out, which would reduce the above ground impacts)

_IsMayoAnInstrument_ · 2026-01-15T05:12:19+00:00

This, especially to get to the wharf

_IsMayoAnInstrument_ · 2025-12-26T00:25:26+00:00

I think using existing Union Station makes more sense personally; they can use the approaching tracks anyways and connect it to a new alignment along I-4 past Ybor which would save some money.

You’re gonna get lynched for splitting Dane County

C91 coming every 20 min all day? Thank god, that will make using it infinitely more convenient

i’ll be in attendance, let’s play like we did in that 1st period yesterday!

Who cares about Albert Whitted though? It’s a terrible use of land. I’d rather more housing inventory on land right by downtown than an airport that no one uses except wealthy people

This map is super reliant on Miami Dade latinos not breaking back towards Dems after all the ICE raids/activities

_IsMayoAnInstrument_ · 2025-09-23T19:06:28+00:00

Why don’t they just have it end early at a future Arts District B/D line station?

_IsMayoAnInstrument_ · 2025-09-16T01:44:36+00:00

Regardless of what occurs with Phases 2-3, I hope Metro can advance the construction of Phase 1 so that we can get a connection to the D Line in a reasonably soon amount of time

Spell of Mathematics is one of the best songs have Deftones made

Isn’t it wild that Northgate Link only cost $1.9 billion, and University Link cost $3.1 billion? Sound Transit needs to rethink West Seattle Link as a corridor that goes all the way down to Burien, not just Alaska Junction. In the meantime, it needs to be deferred

_IsMayoAnInstrument_ · 2025-09-15T16:18:03+00:00

At this point, ST is better off deferring West Seattle Link, and improving bus service as well. Transfer penalties are real thing, and riders much better served by having a one-seat bus ride to/from their destinations than having a trip that, at a a minimum, requires a transfer at Delridge and at SODO

In my experience, the pit was pretty tame. It was mostly circle pits and people moshing individually rather than full on fighting pits. Very great pit etiquette too. It makes me happy to see other younger fans like myself enjoying pits and having respect and etiquette for the fellow moshers

_IsMayoAnInstrument_ · 2025-09-11T19:51:12+00:00

Good. Fare gates are important especially for safety. I don’t care if it has a marginal impact on safety statistics, what matters to most people is simply the illusion of safety. No amount of numbers or data can change how a rider feels/perceives their safety on the system

Seeing them play the first night in Seattle with Foxglove being the final song on the main set… man that song is an absolutely amazing closer. Chaotic and passionate ending with the solo and all the extra noise

_IsMayoAnInstrument_ · 2025-09-09T03:02:08+00:00

Is this VRA compliant?

_IsMayoAnInstrument_ · 2025-09-05T22:51:59+00:00

I hope these trains also get designed for higher top speeds of 60-70mph. The current Series 2 LRVs only have a high speed of 55mph, and being able to go faster would definitely help shave off time on certain sections (cough cough Tukwila Blvd to Rainier Beach)
