That would mean for shipping containers to go from the Port Sout to Ballard North would have to take I5 and back through lake union... where we now have the S.L.U.T. slowing down traffic... not to mention the new Amazon HQ. Maybe instead of being a land developer I should be a city developer... JOKING... :) Jillayne-

In fact, almost any time of the day that I drive south, I use Highway 99 and the Viaduct instead of I-5. Why don't I get to vote on this? We absolutely need to keep traffic moving through downtown. A tunnel seems ridiculous, slowing traffic by mixing pedestrians with people who are trying to get someplace quickly seems unsafe. Just rebuild the viaduct already! I'm with you, Jon. The only reason I can think of as to why they're stalling is because of money. Perhaps the politicians are trying to figure out a way to please all the political DONORS instead of listening to the people who need to use the viaduct. Maybe the only thing that will get them to move faster is an earthquake. I drive from Edmonds south to the Tukwila/Renton area on a regular basis.

Oh Yeah, for some reason we ALL agree we need a change but when it is time as Chiilyc says, "S*#T or get off the pot!" we just cannot do anything! Chillyc brings up another great point. 520 Bridge... I may drive the bridge once a month a MOST and I am 100% in favor of a tax to fix that problem. How could ANYONE be against fixing a serious problem like that? Mike-

And it only continues with the 520 bridge and Light rail extensions. S*#T or get off the pot!

It's hard getting in trouble that way. Never taking a stance, however, doesn't get us anywhere. Maybe - just maybe - they're reflecting their constituency. Perhaps it's up to us to take a stance and make it really clear what we want. -Mike- Hi Jon…Looks like our Pols like to agree to disagree. It’s hard getting in trouble that way.
