Long awaited groundbreaking ceremony for the First Hill line will be held on April 23 at 12:15 PM at the corner of Boylston Avenue and Broadway. Construction to take two [full] years, which is longer than I believe was first planned. Better late than never. Will be a great addition to the fledgling streetcar network.

Do they necessarily need the trolleybus and streetcar running via the same streets? Did they learn anything about the coexistence of bus and rail with the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel? And can the First Hill Streetcar save some money by using some of the existing infrastructure supporing the trolleybus wires?
