    All of this wonderful spring weather and yet nobody out working to fix the bridge. It’s pathetic. Really no other word for it.

    The city cares not about West Seattle. Total s-show. Doling out low bridge trips like COVID vaccine and squandering the precious quarantine time with inaction and in-fighting. At lease they have a plan to make a plan or a plan to study something or maybe a plan to meet.

    It is embarrassing for the city and the state to see a highly needed bridge sit broken for years. A total failure on the regions permanent record. Who let it get this bad? Don’t bother asking, no one is accountable here to be competent. All they do is make excuses and tell locals to be quiet and wait and stop complaining. We need new leadership in this city, stat. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
