[edit] External Links

It seems to me that the links for "Citizens for a King County Monorail" and the "Freeway Monorail" are out of place on this page. These seem, to me, to be political messages about other projects unrelated to the Green line. I'm inclined to remove these new links. --Timothy 00:18, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Current Event

Given the financial problems the project is facing and the public vote it will face in November, a lot could happen quickly. I added the current event tag because of this.

[edit] Color of Second Line

It says that this is the first of 5 lines as part of this metro. What is the color of the second line?? 66.32.209.254 23:20, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

I believe they have a number of proposals under consideration (their web site lists Blue, Gold, Pink, Purple, and Rainbow), but as even the Green Line is in doubt, it's hard to say which would come next. David Arthur 15:03, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Probably not a stub. --drew1718 11:49, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, there is a fair bit of content here now, and it's not like anything particularly new is going to appear. wac(talk contrib) 02:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What was the money used for

Can anyone clarify what exactly the money was used for? Consulting? Initial construction work? Nil Einne 14:07, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Looking at this no wonder the project failed "to accommadate this, the SMP had proposed a finance plan that included over $9 billion in interest to pay for the $2 billion construction" $9 billion in interest for a $2 billion project? Nil Einne 14:09, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
