Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Tunnel
KEK Inc.:
I'm more excited with a modern ferry terminal more than an Alaskan Embarcadero. That part of downtown isn't the part that desperately needs gentrification. Problem areas are in the Southern-inland end around the Int'l District. Pioneer Square and Sodo are not neighborhoods I'd advised doing your late night constitutional without some sort of defense.

I want a modern version of the Waterfront Streetcar to run along the waterfront plaza. From King Street and Chinatown/ID Station to the Seattle Center.

If it links with the SLUT / Fred Hutch-UW future line, then I'm down for streetcars. I don't support street car services that don't a) support UPASS/Orca or b) isolated.

Isolated makes maintenance more of a hassle, but isn't a problem for riders.
The waterfront streetcar was very popular. The city should never allowed the sculpture garden to take its maintenance barn without providing an alternative in advance. The mayor and council were all full of promises about how they'd find another way to do it, that have come to nothing.
Bruce:
The pre-cast concrete sections of the tunnel are massive. I took a picture of a pile of them from CenturyLink Field:
