Anybody over in Ballard able to tell me if anything's happened on Leary (I initially misread it as Shilshole) Ave west of the Ballard Bridge? Something's supposed to happen but the project page is mostly about bus route improvements and doesn't say. Similar markings in Fremont meant new bike lanes on one side of the road.

"The autonomous boats built by HD Hyundai with Anduril autonomous software will be assembled in the former Foss Shipyard, just east of the Ballard Bridge. Anduril said it has invested "tens of millions of dollars" to revamp the retired shipyard, which will serve as the initial hub for HD Hyundai and Anduril."

""The Pacific Northwest, home to the wartime legacy of Kaiser Shipyards and the original Freedom’s Forge, offers the infrastructure, supply chain depth, and skilled labor to expand U.S. shipbuilding capacity," Anduril said in a November news release. "The region provides the ideal conditions to re-energize American shipbuilding and grow the maritime workforce.""

First the big one. #Ballard losing it's light rail is a stupid move. There I said it. However, the downtown tunnel is needed. Right now they run trains on a 4 minute headway through an aging tunnel that leaves no room for maintenance. We see it every week right now, and it's infuriating how much maintenance it requires. However, out of all of the projects, killing Ballard's rail seems ridiculously stupid

Let’s be honest… Link light rail going to #ballard was never feasible. The last time I did the math, I was going to be near retirement age before it got to Ballard AND it only cared about where the silly hipster tech kids live along the Ave. They won’t even be around after AI replaces their jobs. A real line would go up to 85th at least. They are not brave enough to send it along Aurora. I never believed I would have any option other than the 40 to Northgate Station.
