The day after my last entry, the Alaskan Way viaduct was all over the news again. WSDOT (Washington Department of Transportation) has been exploring eight different options for replacing the existing elevated highway, including surface road options, tunnel, lidded trench, and another elevated barrier wall. The viaduct lovers got new ammunition when WSDOT determined that all of the options, except a new elevated, would add as much as 10 minutes to drive times through downtown during peak hours. What an awful burden.
