Just Gonna Roll It Out

I'm no expert on Seattle traffic and transit, but you can't just "roll out a massive transit plan." You need buses and drivers. My guess is if they have an actual plan, instead of a notion about an idea about a plan, it involves shifting resources away from people who actually use the buses to people who don't. Because America.
If Bertha stays stuck and the viaduct fails, Seattle would work with the state and King County Metro to shift traffic to downtown surface streets and roll out a massive transit plan to help get people around.

The street grid would need all the help it could get because already-congested surface streets would have to "work a lot harder," Foster said.

Work harder, streets! Harder!
