Playing a tricky toll card in fighting the waterfront tunnel

Posted Sun, Jul 17, 6:25 p.m.

Tunnel opponents stake their case on how many fewer cars the new tunnel will carry. This is false logic. There is already a cut and cover tunnel on 99 which is two lanes in each direction. It is called the Battery Street Tunnel. How many fewer cars would a new ...

Stockholm's 'war on cars'

Posted Fri, Jul 1, 11:31 p.m.

They do not say which bridges would be removed, but Stockholm does still have a lot of vehicle traffic. I just spent a week there and it is quite congested. It would be difficult to add more public transit there, but they could readily add more bike capacity, but biker ...

Sorry about that, South Park!

Posted Thu, Jul 1, 9:17 a.m.

Dereliction of duty by our smug politicians has come to roost. Today, the first day with no South Park Bridge, there has been a simple, little traffic problem caused by a signal light malfunction at the north end of the First Avenue South bridge. What does this have to do ...

The new Seattle Center: light on the vision thing

Posted Sun, Mar 23, 2:06 p.m.

Sister City Section: The Seattle Center was built for a Worlds Fair. Perhaps a tiny part of the upgrade could be an area devoted to the 22 Sister Cities of Seattle. There is no park in Seattle where one can learn a bit about each of them. It would draw ...

Immature Actions Generate Disgust, Not Sympathy: In the USA, dissent against government, corporate and social practices or policies is allowed under the constitution. Everyone is welcome to express their opinion. Torching the property of innocent citizens is not allowed. The Eco-Lunatic-Fringe (ELF) group needs to crawl out from under their ...
