I don't know about those polls he cites, or the lawsuit angle (there'll be lawsuits no matter what, won't there?), but I'd like to see light rail over 520. Fight the good fight, Mayor!

All I see are two lanes there and back. So the solution to congestion across the 520 bridge is to spend $4.65 billion for zero increase in capacity?

Typical Seattle. Trying to please every special interest group for the benefit of none.

@2, Light rail across the lake benefits EVERYONE.

Our mayor is a Joke! Just like our leadership has been for the past 18 years! Skip the bridge for Bill Gates and his friends and spend the money on more important things. Like getting people to actually ride the light rail we already have! I heard it was packed today,almost 9 people rode it today. Hahahahaha!

Light rail is a farce. Spend the money on more buses. They're much cheaper and WAAAAY more flexible.

Please wait...
