I believe the light rail situation is one of the most problematic proposals in Bellevue history. Because of the vicinity of potential light rail tracks to homes and businesses, I believe the alternatives proposed by Sound Transit that do not interfere with personal/commerical affairs are the preferred routes.
After attending a Bellevue City Council meeting concerning light rail routes and listening to the arguments of the Surrey Downs neighborhood committee that would be most affected by the plans, I wholeheartedly empathize with them. Having a train station built on/near your property would be unacceptable, regardless of number of affected families.
