A press briefing this week with CEO Dow Constantine clearly sought to assuage concerns that Sound Transit wouldn't be able to get all the way to Ballard. With a six- or seven-year "runway" to close a $9 to $11 billion gap, the pressure is clearly on to follow through on that commitment.

Everyone knows Ballard Link isn't "on schedule", you're not fooling anyone, Dow:

"I keep hearing things online or in conversation that are not entirely accurate," Constantine said. "The board action to update the system plan did not kill or cancel or delete or defer or postpone the Ballard project. To the contrary, it kept Ballard on schedule with an investment of $18.1 billion, and that plan that the board adopted gives us the framework and the guidance and the tools needed to roll up our sleeves and to work on solving this puzzle of that money."
