Seattle’s first streetcar line, since closure of municipal lines in 1941, opened in 1982 but was suspended by construction of the Olympic Sculpture Park in 2005 and later destroyed by the state’s waterfront highway project.

At least Galveston had a good reason for suspension.
Still can't believe we replaced an elevated highway and streetcar line with a massive surface highway. 
Pedestrians are really going to appreciate those wide median refuges. But the road never needed to be so wide. What we do for cars in cities is so tragic.
