Oh good. Perfect timing again. Let’s add more bottlenecks and construction blockages to an already over-breached detour route.

West Seattle drivers: the roads are terrible, fix them!Also West Seattle drivers: why are you inconveniencing me by fixing the roads?

Please tell me this includes a road diet. It’s shameful to have 4 lanes with no bike or transit infrastructure in the most walkable part of the “urban village”.Why would anyone choose to take the bus if it gets stuck in the same traffic as cars? Why would anyone choose to bike when they have to claim the lane going uphill? Repaving without reconsidering a diet is such a waste.
