Sound Transit's dilemma: What to delay, cut, or scale with $11.5 billion hole

Sound Transit has an $11.5 billion hole in its budget to finish ST-3, approved by voters in 2016. The board will have to make some tough choices of cutting projects, delaying projects, and other ways to make up the gap. It also wants the public’s help in deciding on priorities.
We’ve spent the last year discussing how badly the pandemic and resulting recession hit Sound Transit’s funding. Buying land and building massive projects is also getting a lot more expensive. Now comes the time to make serious decisions about what to do about it. ....

Price Tag Jumps for Seattle Light Rail Projects

Price Tag Jumps for Seattle Light Rail Projects
Land values and construction costs have increased since voters approved the Sound Transit 3 ballot initiative.
January 12, 2021, 9am PST | James Brasuell |
Cost estimates for extending Sound Transit light rail to both Ballard and West Seattle have risen by about $5 billion, reports Michelle Baruchman. That increase amounts to 50 percent of the previously estimated cost of extending light rail on either end of the Sound Transit system.
Sound Transit blames the higher costs primarily on rising real estate prices in densely developed areas where projects would be built, and a hot construction market that has pushed prices higher than expected even during the pandemic, according to Baruchman. The price of the projects has increased along with the price of land since voters approved the $54 billion Sound Transit 3 ballot measure in 2015. ....

Sound Transit Reveals Big Jump in Cost Estimates for Ballard and West Seattle Link

Your assertion that aerial gondola systems don’t “offer sufficient capacity or expandability to meet West Seattle’s needs long-term” is inaccurate. At 4500 passengers per hour, SkyLink will offer more than twice as much capacity as Sound Transit predicts West Seattle will need by 2040. Also, aerial systems are easily expandable, as they offer different system capacities for different throughput requirements. The SkyLink 3S system could be expanded from the Junction area station to link with the Admiral business district and the WS Water Taxi. And/or an expansion could run from the Delridge node to mid-Delridge or Westwood, and/or over the hill from mid-Delridge to Morgan Junction, or from the Alaska Junction area to Morgan Junction. All at 80%-90% less cost than extending light rail. Increased passenger requirements could be carried by BRT. ....
