Southbound 1st Avenue S. Bridge: Short closures for “temporary repairs” may happen again today, between 6 am and 3 pm. Seriously. Is it “let’s see how much we can F*%K with the people living in West Seattle” How can we make their life as crappy as hell.

“F*%k(ing) with people living in west Seattle” is not what the blog post said. Seems like repairing a bridge is a good idea as opposed to an alternative similar to what is happening with the high bridge. With planning, the closure is avoidable. Also, plenty of cheap bikes on Craigslist. Lots of community groups giving them away free too. I think you’re taking this way to personally.

Sorry, comment time is over.
