Sound Transit completed its first test runs of the long-awaited Light Rail system on MLK Way in the Rainier Valley yesterday. Sound Transit's first run-through was done at "walking speed," which we assume is considerably slower than the max of 35mph the trains will go, to ease area drivers and pedestrians into sharing the road. Originally, Sound Transit had hoped their first run would be at full speed and with traffic, but they wisely decided to take the first trip slowly.
