After the passage of Initiative 53 in November of 1999, Patrick took a brief hiatus from his consulting business and became Interim Executive Director of the Elevated Transportation Company (“ETC”). In December 1999, the ETC was re-constituted and charged with developing a citywide monorail transit system for Seattle. With a $6 million budget and a two-year window to bring the plan before Seattle’s voters, the road ahead for the ETC was daunting. As the Interim Executive Director, Patrick’s role was to help transition the ETC from a predominantly grassroots, activist organization, to an organization that could bridge the gap between its past and future, as well as the rest of the political/transit community.Patrick established ETC credibility with political, transportation, and business/community leaders by stating succinctly its goals, objectives and needs. Patrick also worked with ETC attorney’s developing contracts, resolutions, and other legal documents as well as negotiating contracts with consultants and vendors alike.Two years later Patrick was once again asked to bridge the gap between grass-roots monorail activists and the private sector, ‘establishment’. Patrick spent 5 months as the Campaign Manager for the Raise Above it All/Monorail Yes! campaign. In November 2002 an enormous success was realized when the Citizens of Seattle passed the $1.75 billion Seattle Monorail “Green Line” petition by a lean margin of 877 votes.Patrick in the press:"Patrick Kylen seemed to fit better with what we have to do over the next 90 days," says ETC chair [Tom] Carr, "and enthusiasm and involvement weighed heavier."- The Stranger“While establishment faces are moving up at the ETC, it's activists like Sherwin and outgoing ETC Executive Director Patrick Kylen who deserve the credit for the monorail revival.”... - The Stranger
