The Seattle City Council is considering a plan to expand the South Lake Union streetcar to Ballard, Fremont, West Seattle and the University District, among other neighborhoods. “Ballard and West Seattle have felt somewhat abandoned after the monorail went away and we’ve been looking for a way to get transportation there,” said Department of Transportation Director Grace Crunican. The planning is still in the preliminary phase, and as Seattleites know, this means no decisions are coming anytime soon.
