Route

FAQ

Do I have to walk?

Nope! You can show up near the starting point (Gemenskap Park) to show your support or just show up at the end point (the Beach at Expedia Group). You can also bail and take the D line if you get tired of walking.

Please note: The D line is not a suitable alternative for the light rail. We need a reliable mode of transit which doesn’t get delayed when the Ballard bridge goes up.

Why are we marching this route?

We will be marching this route as it was one of the routes for the proposed light rail station. Let’s walk along the path and imagine what life would look like with the light rail.

What should I bring?

Bring your best walking shoes, some snacks, and your friends and family! Maybe a rain coat if there is a drizzle..

Can I get a t-shirt?

T-shirts will be available for purchase at the event.

What’s the weather going to be like?

Good question. We will have a better answer closer to the date.

That’s a long walk. Are there going to be snacks or water?

There are businesses on the way who will have water available for us protestors. They want the light rail too 😀

What if I have more questions?
