McGinn's folly?


News recently that an ambitious urban road tunnel project in Seattle has come to a grinding halt is singing the tune of its detractors. Frustrating, because many voices went unheeded. Seattle has a fascination wanting things to disappear or not happen at all. Why not look again for something we aesthetically embrace and marvel like we seem to do with the Ferris Wheel. Before this all went down, no pun intended, the Contrarian proposed a high land bridge (prior the Elliot Bay Bridge proposal) as being better way to describe our city than a tunnel or road...and it still may be.
