round trip to the land of make believe

You may remember [metblogs ^[1]] that the Waterfront Streetcar’s future is somewhat uncertain due to a barn on some prime real estate slated to become a sculpture park. While SAM’s vision of the site doesn’t include a maintenance shed, the issue of what happens to the trolley has yet to be resolved.

Despite tomorrow being the deadline for resolving several issues to the streetcar’s future, the actual decisions won’t be unveiled for weeks. As it stands, the trolley line may or may not be extended, the barn may or may not be moved or razed to the ground, the sculpture park may or may not stabilize the seawall before or after the winter, and various city entities may or may not be willing to contribute to the bills for all of these contingencies. However, have faith. Amid the sea of uncertainties, over 250 people will be at the site next Monday for the ground breaking ceremony. [seattle times ^[2]]
