Shameful mistake along MLK

Creating the light rail along MLK is a mess. Utilities are being relocated, orange barrels and markers are everywhere, streets are blocks, construction vehicles and workers are basically on your side street leading to your house, in your front yard, back yard and knocking on your door to explain why they need to shutoff your water for an hour. I've been doing stormwater monitoring along MLK for the last couple of months and I have personally seen the frustration of the residents some have even come up to me to complain. There's no way I would be able to live in the neighborhood with this level of massive redevelopment.

Today, Sound Transit, the agency building the light rail, torn down a wall along MLK that has been going up for some two months. Why, because of a construction error. For the local resident that's basically two months of traffic delays all for nothing, and two more months to rebuild the wall.
