Save the Seattle Waterfront Streetcar (Again)

The George Benson Waterfront Streetcar Line, named for the city councilmember who worked for its establishment, ran along Alaskan Way on the Seattle waterfront from 1982 through 2005. It was then replaced by buses (supposedly temporarily) while a new maintenance barn was built.
Now, due to uncertainty about replacement of the Viaduct, and to financial cuts, it appears that the Waterfront Streetcar is being quietly dropped.
