    Before taking any action to design or implement Phase II, the Northgate extension, Sound Transit shall place on the ballot a single ballot proposition to authorize the implementation of Phase II, the Northgate extension.  A simple majority of those voting within the boundaries of the authority shall be required for approval.  If the vote on the proposition fails, the project may not be implemented."
