Talk:Seattle Center Monorail

message: Please? Ideally one with the other transit on it as well (LINK, SLUT, SOUNDER, etc.) Is it dead and demolished? The page doesn't say, and that is a pretty darn important thing...

-Map here still shows it being around....as of 2014. 
The ridiculous green-line/monorail extension debate ended 5+years ago. 
--ah, finally, a map:

thread_title:  Monorail running again 

message: Hey, I thought the voters of Seattle voted down the continuation of the Monorail Project during the same election period as the presidential elections in November 2004, and not November of 2005.  I'm referring to a statement made towards the end of the page.  Where's the citation? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.160.45.229 (talk • contribs) 02:59, August 14, 2006.
:Added citation showing November 8, 2005 as requested.--Bobblehead 15:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Voters and the Demise of the Green Line 

message: [Apparently] a monorail was proposed in Seattle as early as 1910. The linked article has just a teaser on this; someone may want to follow it up. I imagine there are articles and maybe commercial or government documents from the time (or at least more than one picture). - Jmabel | Talk 00:05, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Who designed the monorail?  Who built it?  How long did it take?  What challenges were faced?  -- Some ideas for improvement.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.160.166.27 (talk) 20:54, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Construction 

message: I'm not sure where the 1.2 mile (1.9 km) distance comes from, but it is certainly not accurate. It's possible that the number comes from numbers that were quoted a long time ago or from someone who measured the distance using driving directions or something. However, I've measured the track length using a number of different GIS applications and each time I get 0.96 miles (1.54 km), plus or minus a few feet. The distance shown on the page overstates the true distance by almost 1300 feet, which may not sound like much, but for how short the track is, this is off by +25%, which is significant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shemtheo (talk • contribs) 20:56, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The page http://www.seattlemonorail.com/about/system-description/ says: "The guideway is just under 1 mile in length at the present day, but when it was built in 1962, it extended beyond Westlake Center and was a little longer than 1 mile.". Also, the page http://www.alweg.com/alwegseattle/alwegseattlechronology.html quotes a newspaper saying in 1969: "Seattle's two monorail trains travel only the 1.2 miles between the Seattle Center and Westlake Mall.".

text: Popular Mechanics also says (in 1963): "Alweg erected its 1.2-mile Seattle system in a matter of 10 months at a cost of almost $4,200,000.". Razvan Socol (talk) 06:21, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Track Length 

message: It says: "reduce the number of vehicles needed to serve the arena". I'm not entirely sure what is meant by that. Maybe something like this? "reduce the number of car trips needed to access the arena" Schwede66 19:20, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed, though I was trying to be inclusive of ride-hailing, since it's expected to play a major role. SounderBruce 19:29, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
