A thriving community: Capitol Hill’s Pride Place
Transit-oriented development supports vibrant neighborhoods and changes lives. That’s certainly been the case for residents of Pride Place, an affirming affordable housing development tailored to seniors in Seattle’s cultural center for LGBTQIA+ life. 
Developed and managed by Community Roots Housing, the colorful, eight-story Pride Place opened in October 2023. It’s located steps away from Link light rail and other transit options, and it features 118 studio and one-bedroom apartments above an LGBTQIA+ focused community and health services center run by GenPride.

    Light rail trains are too urban for the suburbs so the alignment was pushed as far away from homes as possible. Otherwise the existing rail line from Renton to Kirkland, which passed by homes, would’ve worked. It’s almost like the Eastside didn’t really want a train but the ST board and politicians pushed for it.

    • @mickeyhage
      @mickeyhage Месяц назад

      I find it baffling that they didn't replace the tracks and signals from Renton to Woodinville on existing rail corridor. Could have been done for super cheap and then they could have built the tracks over the bridge and it would have connected significantly more people on the eastside to each other and to Seattle for far less money. Instead they bought lots of land expensively and built next to highway where no one lives.

    Link light rail truly has the capability to transfer the entire puget sound in a way that st 550 running every 30 minutes getting stuck in traffic can't. Link's ridership potential is enormous, but thanks to a few short sections of street running, capacity and frequency is kneecapped. So we request that the West Seattle and Ballard extensions be converged into one single line that is totally grade seperated, so we can actually use real automated subway trains like Vancouver to run everything frequently

    The train is nice, but it doesn’t go anywhere I need. The first two stations have no riders in a quarter mile, the next is surrounded by car dealerships. The politicians are going to wonder why the ridership is so small and the people are going to be frustrated by the lack of useful trains. I almost think the politicians choose the worst possible route so they can force people into the cars

    Great PSA!!! Please, please, please consider utilizing and/or retrofitting some of your busier stations with platform screen doors! Most modern metros, especially overseas, are using these to significant effect as they completely eliminate the ability for people to fall on the tracks from a high platform. Super safe and modern and should absolutely be standard for all new transit platforms! Would also love you guys to upgrade/redesign the Rainier Valley to be fully grade-separated! As one of the first sections of Link built, around two decades is long enough to know it's clearly a major life safety and operational issue, putting vehicles, pedestrians at risk while reducing train speeds and increasing regional trip times. This will become even more pronounced as your southern expansion progresses towards Tacoma. Perhaps ST4 could include a major retrofitting/redesign or bypass project for this segment to address these issues. Food for thought, but regardless, please keep up the great work! What you've accomplished and continue to accomplish is of tremendous importance for the Puget Sound Region and is desperately needed!!!

      The problem on that section isn’t the track: it’s the center C car. The wheels on those sections aren’t connected by an axel, and so rotate independently of each other. At high speeds (~50+ MPH), this lack of synchro still can exacerbate seeking oscillation in that section, which shakes the entire car. Not enough to be dangerous, but VERY noticeable. Newer S70 units should handle it better.
