I know what we can do! How about we replace the viaduct with an even larger capacity structure that will allow even MORE cars to spew exhaust.

Well, since the powers-that-be are working at warp speed to replace the Viaduct...

No, it is a discussion about thinking about the possibility of discussing if we might consider thinking about having a policy discussion. Pretty lame, no?

Time to get real and DOUBLE LOCAL TRANSIT.

Period.

Yep, more transit now. I'm 1000% for that. Then in 40 years once a proper rapid transit infrastructure is in place we can have the discussion about the roads we want to remove. Of course, the additional million plus people living here at that point will want to be in on the discussion as well.

Amen, Coffman.

+Transit? Buses? Street-level Viaduct? Wow. Great idea.

4 & 5: The Plus Transit part has to be rail. 40 years is definitely too long, so we must demand an acceleration of the current planning so that the whole system is in place in 20. That means the central line from Everett to Lakewood, the cross-lake connection from Seattle to Redmond, the Eastside line from Tukwila to Lynnwood, a spur from downtown to West Seattle and then on to the airport junction, another northern spur through Ballard and Northgate and the 522 corridor to the Eastside line, and the full Tacoma spur.

I'm willing to pay for it, and I'm willing to maintain the current roads while transit is under construction, but spending billions on massive new roads or expansions is just a bad idea.

Actually, if we do local transit now - we can use hybrid biodiesel busses that use less fuel and are more pro-enviro - and electric-powered streetcars, monorails, and light rail which use hydro, wind, solar, and tidal energy.

All Of The Above (tm).

Not just one - MANY!
