City Inside/Out: SR 520 Update 12/11/2009
Sections of the 520 floating bridge are in jeopardy, but what is the right fix? As the 2010 state legislature prepares to take up this important debate, we take an in-depth look at the 2 main proposals for replacing the aging structure. We hear from a Montlake resident who worries the favored option will put a new freeway onramp just outside his front door. Is a tunnel under the Montlake Cut a viable solution? Or would a second drawbridge be more feasible? Our studio panel includes House transportation chair Judy Clibborn (D-41st), Montlake activist Jonathan Dubman and Arboretum Foundation Executive Director Paige Miller. |
