Marcato Finds Art
The Marcato Condomium project at the corner of 15th and Tacoma has installed its public art obligation. Our first cameraphone image has arrived from a dedicated tipster. It’s quite blue…

Price tag for this next auto-dependent monstrosity? I don’t even want to know.

Dreading multiple years of having to use the Union interchange w/ the closure of Sprague during construction…

Looks like it’ll be Exit 133 for anyone out of town coming to visit ol’ T’OT.
WOAH! Idea here!
Talk about using providence to your advantage! Use the construction mess as a way to promote Exit 133… not just the real one into downtown, but the site as well!
…so many ideas…

I haven’t seen the plan, is there a link anywhere to look at it?
I have hated getting off I-5 North to go to 16 since I got my license. Merging hell, that.

Oh how happy I’ll be when the day comes that my weekly adventure off exit 132 for grocery shopping does not include waiting in line for 30+ minutes with irritated old biddies tailgaiting within centimeters of the nearest bumper making absolutly certain that I cannot merge.
But knowing my luck downtown will have a big new fancy grocery store by the time it’s finished.
Oh bother.

I avoid Exit 132 like the plague UNLESS I’m going from I-5 to SR 16 during the wee hours of the morning.
While I applaud the state actually doing something for once, I have 2 concerns.
1) Another viaduct to clutter the landscape. I certainly hope it at least has some pleasing aesthetics (like the new walls on I-5).
2) It will certainly help traffic, but will the ease of the finished viaduct encourage more motorists (including those who currently avoid it) to take to the highways?
