YAKIMA, Wash.-- The Yakima City Council
is considering reimbursing the trolley association to help restore the trolley
line from Selah to Yakima.
The group has run into some troubles in
recent years, after thieves stole nearly 14-thousand feet worth of copper
wiring in 2006.
That wire was valued at over 10-thousand
dollars.
In addition to that, their service
truck's hydraulic system stopped working about two years ago.
It's taken them until now to find the
problem and get the truck working again.
The fix ended up costing them 13-thousand
dollars and they want the city to help them foot the bill.
With the truck back in service, the
trolley association wants to reconnect the Yakima to Selah line. They're
shooting to have it done by this June.
That's the 100th anniversary of the line.
The city council will discuss this and
other issues at their next meeting.
That's happening tonight at six in Yakima
City Hall.
