Colfax, Broadway and Cherry Creek are specific to the City/County of Denver. I can't/won't speak to why Denver hasn't chosen to build light rail where you suggest. Neither am I familiar with ST1 and ST2 to speak to why Seattle proceeded as they did. I would stick to my contention that Seattle is an
ideal city for transit; Denver less so; it's an important difference. We could have rambling debates as to why that is so... I'd rather not.

I'm only annoyed that my view like Fastracks is visionary while textbook jockeys have very myopic eyes.

Yes, politics led to Fastracks building what they did. It's fair for anyone to debate the wisdom if they wish to. I've accepted what the voters wanted and see the fabulous potential b/c I'm not myopic or illiberal; I be progressive.
And finally, yes budgets are a Big Deal. See Nashville for example; Denver is light years ahead of that peer city.
