What Needs Fixing Is City/State Relationship (Seattle P-I)
Friends of Seattle is in the news.
Cathy Sorbo, "What Needs Fixing Is City/State Relationship," Seattle P-I (24 Feb 2007)
Wherever the traffic is supposed to flow while these freeways are being built, is where the traffic flow should stay. Vote no on the tunnel, and no on the rebuild. Let's fix our surface streets and public transportation problems once and for all. A double-no vote on March 13 shows a willingness to be fiscally responsible, even if the cost of this vote may run upward of $1 million. It will send a message to (insert any government player name here) that Seattle needs to stop accommodating the automobile. Someday someone might be able to explain why the surface street plan as favored by the People's Waterfront Coalition as well as the Friends of Seattle has been virtually ignored by all but a few civic leaders. It's inexcusable that this option is unallowed on the March 13 freeway poll, and I hope some of us will write it in.
