WSDOT: Drop the Tunnel Lite

Breaking news:

Seattle's proposal for a reduced, four-lane Alaskan Way tunnel should be dropped from further consideration, because of "serious operational and safety problems found during our technical review," the State Department of Transportation said in a letter released this morning.
Hmm... Would that be the four-lane tunnel that Seattle voters will be voting on with the upcoming "advisory ballot"? Yes, indeed it would be:
Next week, advisory ballots will be mailed to Seattle voters, who are being asked to choose a four-lane tunnel, or a six-lane elevated structure. Final decisions rest with the state, where some officials have called the advisory measure flawed, or even meaningless.
I'll say. If the state says "this idea will never work," then it really doesn't matter if the city (for some reason) chooses that idea anyway, now does it?

I'm shocked an appalled how long it takes this city/state to make a decision. No matter what's done, lots of people are going to be unhappy. Eventually someone's going to have to make a decision, and tell it's detractors to get over it. Do we really have to have 5 to 10 more years of back and forth to come to the same conclusion? GET IT DONE ALREADY BEFORE PEOPLE DIE!
