Richard Conlin has a newsletter that goes out monthly that I peruse regularly to keep abreast of changes going on in Seattle. In today’s letter is a link to information on actions that Seattle City Council is taking to do additional research into best options for the west side interchange of what will eventually need to be a new 520 bridge crossing across Lake Washington. Check it out for more details.
For homeowners on either side of the bridge, the eventual work will have an impact on traffic for a while but the final choice for the interchange will also impact quality of life depending on who you are. If traffic can be improved, then it will give more options for homeowners to decide which “side” of the lake they want to be and make commuting to work more reasonable. If a short term view is taken then we’ll be fighting about this for 20 more years when more improvements need to be made because capacity and flow becomes an issue again.
