    Back to normal all right, i nearly got run over by a guy in an SUV. I was screaming and waving as he accelerated towards me. Lit street and walk signal means nothing to many drivers.

    I don’t know if anybody knows why the Street Lights as you go EB on the WS Bridge just as you round the corner by Necor Steel why there are about 8 street lights out?  I even see that a few of them are on the lower bridge as you come up from underneath?  It is very dark there and I know they have been out for about 3 weeks if not longer.  Is there a number we should call to report them?  Thank you.

    Lola,  Use the City of Seattle’s “Find It, Fix It” App, it helps if you know the 7 digit pole number for each pole that is not working.  You can also go to the City of Seattle’s website and report it there, here’s the link: http://www.seattle.gov/light/streetlight/

    Unless they add the bus lane to Alaska St first before rerouting buses to Columbia, it will add to the commute time and not decrease it especially in the mornings.   I’m not sure why more cars don’t take 1st with the backups I see on Alaska lately.

    Thanks everyone, I found the App. and reported.  Marty2 don’t think I will get out in traffic to get those pole numbers.  If they can’t figure out which ones are out then we are in big trouble. Lol. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
