(View from SDOT camera on the bridge this morning)

WEST SEATTLE BRIDGE BRIEFING: As previewed on Friday, the mayor and SDOT plan a media briefing at 11 am today “to mark the start of construction for the final phase of repairs to the West Seattle Bridge.” They’ve decided to hold it online, though media crews will be allowed onto the bridge this afternoon for a closer look.

    Fingers crossed that there’s still “some good news” announced today as Zimbabwe mentioned last week: https://westseattleblog.com/2021/11/west-seattle-bridge-repair-update-expected-monday/

    Interesting timing for lower bridge trouble (at least according to Metro alert)

    The ‘good news’ appears to be that they are finally starting the work, ‘on time’? This doesn’t seem like the good news they hyped, but literally just ‘we’re doing our job, properly, good news!’. I mean, they said this was gonna start in October at one point, so ‘good news’?

      Do folks like you ever tire of complaining?

        Not even remotely, when it’s my tax dollars at ‘work’. Do folks like you ever get tired of complaining about people complaining into a big old feedback loop of complaining?

        Not all of us blindly accept that stated goals such as dealing with an “emergency” are being treated according to their declared status. Not all of us blindly and unquestionably trust that the government is not working for personal agendas. Not all of us are happy with mediocre at best performance. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
