[WASDEN]

I love TRAX but I've never understood the West Valley line, especially now that theres BRT. It seems like the West Valley line just kind of snakes to nowhere. If we really want to serve the West side with mass transit, cutting down on the number of transfers would be optimal. Jumping of BRT to board the West Valley TRAX line, only to switch again when reaching the main TRAX line just doesn't make sense- especially since BRT is WAY cheaper. I don't see why BRT can't continue down 35th and connect with the 33rd TRAX station, or if there really is that much of a ridership projection along the West Valley TRAX allignment, BRT could follow a similar route and connect with the TRAX main line at 21rst.
