I know we have offices downtown, but the 520 is a much bigger concern when it comes to the comfort of Microsoft. Also, Real Networks driving our local economy? That's funny.

There's no where. 99 is the lifeblood of my transit. When it's packed I've tried getting off and taking 1st or 2nd N. or S. and I would have been better off to just stay on 99. If they "do away" with it, traffic in the city will get overloaded Transit times will further increase and instead of Boeing leaving town maybe it will be Microsoft this time... Real Networks and every other company driving our local economy. Not to mention all of the small "support" businesses that would fold, thereby crippling our economy. Besides taking the viaduct down will significantly increase value along the waterfront attracting business and tourism. It's a win-win. Believe me I'm all for Mass Transit but we've all see how well that went over, the light rail is a real success... can't wait til I actually have a reason to go to Tukwilla so I can actually use the light rail. Dorsol what would you have proposed. Adron – pushing the traffic elsewhere, where?!?! There’s no where. 99 is the lifeblood of my transit.

But I sure as hell am against the viaduct. Tear that nasty POS down already. It absolutely ruins the positive vibe of the waterfront... But as for tunnel, or whatever... money would be better spent doing nothing - pushing the traffic to somewhere else or providing a non-auto based alternative. Better yet, fix the whole damn issue with a congestion fee. Ya know, I sure hate to say I’m for the tunnel or against it…
