Friends of Seattle Vows to Continue to Fight for the Surface/Transit Alternative
"Yesterday's victory is a promising start "

SEATTLE---Friends of Seattle vowed today to continue to fight for the surface/transit strategy for replacing the Viaduct and moving Seattle into the 21st century. "The voters have given us a clear mandate that they do not want to see another highway put on our waterfront," said FoS founder and president Gary Manca. "Yesterday's election was a clear victory for the surface/transit alternative, and a promising start to reclaiming the waterfront for the citizens of Seattle. We are really excited to work with community leaders and elected officials to give the voters what they want: a new way to move people and goods and a beautiful waterfront that serves the entire city, not just vehicles."
