 Interstate 405 and Viaduct wish lists cut way back
Under orders from King County Executive Ron Sims to come up with a regional transportation package that is easier on the wallet than what leaders in three counties have been discussing, the county's transportation department unveiled its slimmed-down package yesterday.
Suffering most prominently from the budgetary sauna treatment was Interstate 405, which went from $2.8 billion to $1.3 billion, jettisoning or at least deferring dreams of King County Councilman Rob McKenna and others of adding two lanes in each direction to the major Eastside artery.
But Seattle's Alaskan Way Viaduct also was subjected to something of a shock treatment, with the department suggesting focusing on the south end of the project and leaving the central and north ends of the project for the future.
