Fare gates

How soon could fare gates be implemented? As I've said in other places, fares will not get light rail to ballard West Seattle Tacoma or anywhere else.

They can help keep our stations clean though.

Concerns i have about gates are:

Accessibility. How would those with mobility issues navigate the system?

Safety. At stations such as sodo othello and belred how to prevent people from walking on the tracks (this should be a conversation on its own, given the reputation of thesee corridors)

Tap to exit? I think tapping out at lynnwood Redmond and federal way isn't a bad idea. It's how it works in LA

Also support for transitgo needs to be included or a phase out period (personally I think it can go but that's off topic here)

Lead time for youths to get orca cards so they don't have to pay

Anyone using transit along 15th avenue Ne South of campus parkway and also routes 45, 75 (double whammy for them), 79 can expect severe delays due to an electrical fire (on 42nd and university way) and a hazmat response at 40th and 15th.

Routes affected:
