There is already too much being done late — my annoyance being stuff like the design of the transit terminal at UW and downtown. Shouldn’t that have been figured out when the track and station design was done? But you’re absolutely right that details as simple as “who clears what areas of snow” should be worked out while we have many months before service begins.
Sorry, what's the issue?
I mean things like just exactly how will transfers between the LRT and trains work? And can those transfers be made weather-protected? It’s not reasonable to build a new train/bus station at a new LRT stop for a new LRT system in a newly grade-separated location and not provide for weather-protected transfers between the modes. Essentially, the design for the entire transit terminal should already be done. It’s fine if the exact design of the large development over and around the terminal isn’t established but the transit terminal itself should be pretty well figured out by the time construction begins on the LRT system.
