Sound Transit 3 Draft Priority Projects Comments Received (North Corridor) Sound Transit 3 Draft Priority Projects Comments Received (North Corridor) Comment Date Name Organization Comment Source 06/20/2015 Unknown Not applicable Email Zip Code Comment Planning: You have done much planning for extension of rapid transit in this area. Two more years of study is excessive. Make a decision based on input now. By the time you get it built with your current timeline, we will be in gridlock worse than now. It's getting impossible!!!!!! Get the main line done to Everett and Tacoma . Then add the side rails. Boeing at Paine field should put in their OWN link. They ve been given enough tax breaks, let them pay for their own connection to the system. It's only right and fair to the taxpayers. Timeline: You said at the meeting you will build 30 miles in eight years. Wow. Most of the people I talk to cannot fathom why it takes so long to build this system. British Columbia/Vancouver built their light rail in 3 years. Hummmmmmmmmm. Cost: This is a huge system that benefits the surrounding area outside the city limits. I know people who live in unincorporated areas who come to Everett and use the busses and train. They do not pay for this transportation infrastructure. These folks who live in the outlying areas (Arlington, Monroe, Granite Falls,) need to be included in paying the cost of this system. Just as my taxes support the ferries I seldom use, the greater puget sound travelers need to support sound transits expansion. Let's get this train on the tracks !

It makes no sense for everett residents to pay for a light rail system for all of north sno. county. The time line for const.needs to be implemented much faster. Twenty years and still have not reached the sno. county border.

Why aren't we using what is already built. It would help alleviate traffic in the a.m. and p.m. from and to Ballard.

THAT is not Light Rail! THAT is not what we voted for. There is too much administration, planning and money spent, taking too much time for results. Sound Transit is a farce. You want Snohomish County votes so that more Light Rail can be built within Seattle. No! No more! I drove the Sound Transit buses and had for over 6 years. I rode them also before 2007. Traffic is horrible and it's so much worse now. We needed that system years ago, in fact, it was supposed to be done in 2007. ST2 was a lie for Snohomish County. Get it done sooner and with a guarantee. Then Snohomish County might vote yes.

Also, it should be upgraded to Rapid Rail, not "Bus Rapid Transit," which I consider n oxymoron.

What gives? If you are going to take my money, you could at least lie and say that I am getting something for it. I'm beginning to think that a class action lawsuit is the only thing that you people will understand. Comments Recevied (North Corridor) July 23, 2015 8 Sound Transit 3 Draft Priority Projects Comments Received (North Corridor) Comment Date Name Organization Comment Source 06/06/2015 Unknown Not applicable Email Zip Code Comment I live in Mill Creek and commute to Microsoft’s Redmond campus. I am forced to take four buses in the morning and three in the evening. The third morning bus, the 532, takes me all the way to Bellevue TC—and then I have to get a fourth bus backwards to Redmond. My commute is a minimum of two hours in each direction. I find it hard to believe that there are not more Microsoft employees in the Mill Creek/Bothell/SE Everett area who would take public transit if reasonable options were offered to them. It is incomprehensible that there are numerous express routes to the University District and none to Redmond. In the morning I take: the 860 from McCollum Park to Mariner P&R (a 10‐minute ride) the 201 from Mariner to Ash Way P&R (another 10‐minute ride after a 10‐minute wait) the 532 from Ash Way to Bellevue TC (a 40‐minute ride—on a good day—after a 10‐minute wait) the B Rapid Ride from Bellevue to Redmond (a 25‐minute ride after a 5‐10 minute wait) throw in walking time and it’s two hours. In the evening I take: the 244 to Kingsgate P&R (a ride that varies wildly depending on traffic, anywhere from 30 ‐45 minutes) a substantial walk (actually, a run) to Totem Lake Freeway Station the 532 from Totem Lake to Ash Way (anywhere from 30‐45 minutes, depending on traffic, always a packed bus, rarely an open seat) Comments Recevied (North Corridor) July 23, 2015 9 Sound Transit 3 Draft Priority Projects Comments Received (North Corridor) the 860 from Ash Way to McCollum Park (that is, if I catch either the 5:53 p.m. or 6:23 p.m. bus, my only two options and both of which are frequently late, sometimes early, and sometimes simply don’t show up). I’m often forced to take a 201 or 202 to Mariner and walk to McCollum. Does this sound like a pleasant commuting situation? I doubt too many of your riders have to go through that ridiculous routine five days a week. So what’s the point? Express buses from Mariner or Ash Way to Overlake in Redmond. I’m betting you would gain riders. Comments Recevied (North Corridor) July 23, 2015 10 Sound Transit 3 Draft Priority Projects Comments Received (North Corridor) Comment Date Name Organization Comment Source 06/07/2015 Unknown Not applicable Email Zip Code Comment Dear Sound Transit, I write to you to encourage a ballot measure to extend the Link Light Rail line to Everett. I live and work in Everett but I have several friends in the Shoreline/Seattle area. While the 512/513 runs often enough it often runs late due to adverse traffic conditions. And, to get to SeaTac Airport I presently have to transfer from the 512 to the Link Light Rail in downtown Seattle. So, if a light rail line went all the way from Everett to SeaTac, it would make getting around the Puget Sound area much easier (at least on the West side of Lake Washington).

Heavy rail needs to increase the frequency of runs north and south to every day of the week and fairly frequent trains going both directions from Seattle to Everett (with intermediate stops in between those points‐ Edmonds, Mukilteo). The shoreline communities, between Seattle and Everett have no easy rail alternative without a higher frequency of trains going both directions. 2. It seems the initial construction of light rail was heavily skewed to south of Seattle. We need the light rail line to continue north to Everett ‐ the North Sound wants to make heavy use of light rail too ‐ please build it ! We will ride it.

Her question from afar ruminates on a lack of similar practice in her own country: Is it because China lacks utopian visions associated with the hippie ethos of mid-twentieth-century America? Is it because a utilitarian mentality pervades the social and political context in China? Lu’s meditations on the nature of Buster Simpson’s artistic practice go to the heart of our understanding of his work. Is it utopian? Simpson would suggest it is not: his experience at Woodstock “made me realize that working in a more urban context might be more interesting than this utopian, return-to-nature idea” (p. 91). To understand the nature of Buster Simpson’s practice, we need to accompany him to the underbelly of the city where he has lived and worked for forty years.

Shaikh1, Mr.Chakor Vishal Arjun2, Mr.Saurabh Hiraman Sonawane3, Mr.Zade Roshan Dinkar4, Mr.Jadhav Aniket Rohidas5 Assistant Professor in Electrical Engineering, Sir Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology, Maharashtra, India1 BE. Electrical Engineering Students, Sir Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology, Nashik, Maharashtra, India2-5 Abstract: The Transit Elevated Bus (TEB) (simplified Chinese: traditional Chinese: pinyinis a proposed new bus concept where a guided bus straddles above road traffic, giving it the alternative names such as straddling bus, straddle bus, land airbus, or tunnel bus by international media. A trial was scheduled to begin in Beijing's Mentougou District by late s2010. However, the project was not given authorization by the district authorities because the technology was considered to be too immature, and further trials were subject to the development of a concept to prove the system actually works. The city of Manaus, Brazil, has also evaluated the option of installing a straddle bus in its city streets. At the time of the 2016 unveiling of the scale model, it was reported that a prototype would be deployed by mid-2016 in Qinhuangdao. Four other Chinese cities, Nan yang, Shenyang, Tianjin, and Zhoukou, had also signed contracts for pilot projects involving the construction of test tracks beginning in 2016. However, a claimed test of a prototype design was heavily criticized in August 2016, and appears to be abandoned as of December 2016.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

    SOUND TRANSIT STAFF REPORT MOTION NO. M2008-50 Declaration of ST Express Buses as Surplus Meeting: Date: Type of Action: Staff Contact: Phone: Finance Committee 5/1/08 Discussion/Possible Action Bonnie Todd, (206) 398-5367 Transportation Services Director John May, Interim (206) 398-5016 Manager, ST Express Bus Operations Contract/Agreement Type: Requested Action: Competitive Procurement Execute New Contract/Agreement Sole Source Amend Existing Contract/Agreement Agreement with Other Jurisdiction(s) Budget Amendment Real Estate Property Acquisition PROJECT NAME ST Express Fleet Replacement PROPOSED ACTION Authorizes the chief executive officer to declare 27 Sound Transit Express buses as surplus and offer them for sale to the public. KEY FEATURES OF PROPOSED ACTION • These 27 1994 Orion coaches have exceeded their useful life of twelve years and have over 500,000 miles each. • These coaches have been replaced by the acquisition of seven new 45-foot MCI coaches and twenty 40-foot Gillig coaches. The coaches have been delivered and are now in service on ST Express routes operated by Pierce Transit. • Pierce Transit will deliver the Orion coaches to an auctioneer for sale; the estimated sale price is $1,000 per bus. The total for 27 surplus buses is estimated to be approximately $27,000. The limited availability of CNG fueling sites negatively affects the resale value of these vehicles. • Revenue from the sale of the vehicles will be returned to the general fund apportioned to the Pierce and South King County subareas. • Sound Transit Administrative Policy #14 allows for the surplus of assets in accordance with RCW 81.112.080.
