Seattle area commuters are looking at billions of dollars in costs to replace 520 and the Alaskan Way Viaduct. But these megaprojects don't even increase capacity. What do we do to unjam our clogged freeways? Your ideas?
Answer
1. Build a bridge or tunnel from the Seattle waterfront to the ferry terminal in Winslow.
2. Replace the Viaduct with a tunnel, which would be tied into the new bridge or tunnel to Winslow.
The technology for both projects exists today.
3. Starting in Everett, have a light rail line that when not on former railroad right of way... bike trails... would run down the center of I - 5. starting at the Everett Mall, to Alderwood Mall, Northgate Mall, utilize the downtown tunnel, stop at the Sports Arenas, South Center Mall, SeaTac Airport, SeaTac Mall,link with the Tacoma light Rail, Tacoma Mall, swing along the new Rt 16, over the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and stop along the way at major Park & Rides and the Kitsap Mall in Silverdale.
It could have Park & Ride lots built all along the rt.
By stopping at Malls, you have a ridership base almost instanly. These are existing major destinations with parking as well.
4. Build a light rail line along the entirety of I-405, runing a loop service in both directions, linking to the line being built now, and extend the currently built on to Auburn along 167, then tru an existing abandoned Electric Rail Interurban Tunnel, connect to the Tacoma Trolley and the Everett/Silverdale line.
5. Replace some ferry crossings to bridge or tunnel, such as Edmonds - Kingston and Southworth - Fauntleroy
The ferries are nice as a tourist thing but are really obsolete.
They are expensive, slow and infrequent.

In Texas do you have to have a license to drive a gas powered scooter?

I will be going to school at Stephen F. Austin next year and was wondering if I need a license to drive a gas powered scooter(like a vespa) on campus. I know they're allowed on the campus but I don't know if I have to have a license for one.
Answer
License and helmet in Texas. The alternative is electric bicycles pedal assist machine like the Schwinn Campus, and World. My commuter bicycle is the Schwinn Continental 30 volt battery pack really great to silently ride around. On the bike paths it embarrasses many high performance riders. Vespas Are not cheep any more and the two stroke motors are dirty running at least you still get some exercise with a bike.
