Paul Allen Announces “Because I Can” Streetcar Line
Building on the unbridled success and runaway popularity of the South Lake Union Trolley, a spokesman for Paul Allen's Vulcan Inc. announced Wednesday that construction of a second streetcar line in the neighborhood will begin immediately. The new Because I Can line will run approximately half a mile, circling the three blocks bounded by Republican Street to the north, Boren Avenue to the west, Pontius Avenue to the east, and Harrison Street to the south. The streetcar will have a single stop, located on Harrison. With the South Lake Union Line already running at nearly eight percent capacity, we cannot afford to waste time on this new line, said Allen in a written statement released by Vulcan. I have already purchased the property at 1165 Harrison and will begin demolition of the existing structure as soon as we acquire permits from the city.
