Seattle Breaks ground on the South Lake Union Streetcar

"The $51 million project symbolizes, and could promote, the transformation of a sleepy old business district into a cluster of high-rise condos and biotech labs. The South Lake Union area is projected to gain 20,000 jobs and 17,000 residents by the year 2020.

The city predicts that when the line opens in fall 2007, about 300,000 people a year will ride the 1.3-mile route between the Westin Hotel and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Trains would arrive 15 minutes apart."
