Written by We had a civil, somewhat passionate, forum about the pros and cons of I-985 at our Council Meeting on Monday night.
This initiative has the worthy goal of trying to reduce traffic congestion, something we are all in favor of; but the initiative seeks to do it in some questionable ways (such as opening HOV lanes up to all traffic 18 hours per day, and sending local traffic photo enforcement fines–currently used to reduce speeding in neighborhoods– to a new traffic congestion fund in Olympia)
After hearing the pros and cons, and taking comments from citizens, council went on record opposing this initiative.
The city published a press release today with more information on this topic:
Do you agree or disagree with our recommendation… How do you plan to vote?
Here is the press release:
