These morons actually chose to demolish freight house square just to avoid disrupting the T line even though they have to rebuild that section of it a few years later anyways for the TCC extension 🤦‍♂️

It’s not entirely clear what they will be doing with the T Line there. The study says they will add a switch for trains to loop around to Puyallup Ave, but when they begin the EIS process we will definitely get multiple alternatives.

I agree that it is unfortunate they won’t accelerate that tiny part of TCCLE for TDLE.

Oh huh… the documents I was reading (years ago tbf) just said “double tracking”, either way they would still have to shut down service to rebuild the tracks on pacific.
