^ Clearly J.Will means Seattle.
TOD rezoning was completed in 2001 and is in the process of being updated. There are some projects that have been built and others that are under construction, but the recession has clearly had a big impact. There has been a lot more development around stations in areas that were already gentrifying (Beacon Hill, Mount Baker, Columbia City) than in the neighborhoods further south.
I'd like to see the ridership higher but it's not far off estimates when you factor in the recession. The estimates were enough for the voters to approve (in November of 2008) the expansion of the system to a total of 53 miles.
