Council brownbag to focus on Seattle’s electric trolley system
The Seattle City Council’s transportation committee will hold a
special meeting on Wednesday with a focus on Seattle’s electric
trolley system.
WHEN: 12 – 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 16, 2010
WHERE: City Hall, Council Chambers, 600 Fourth Ave, Second Floor, Seattle, 98104
Representatives from Seattle’s Department of Transportation and King
County Metro will be on-hand to provide an overview of the past,
present and future of Seattle’s electric trolley system.
This discussion will include the origin, benefits and proposed transit
plan updates, as well as the operational aspects of our current
trolley fleet, which is approaching the end of its operational life in
2014. In order to meet that date, Metro must decide on a replacement
choice by 2011.
The program will be followed by questions from councilmembers and the audience.
