Ever since I moved here, Seattle has wrestled with the question about what to do with the Alaska Way Viaduct. (Pictured here). Construction of the viaduct began in the '50s and is definately showing it's age. Of even greater concern is whether or not the viaduct can withstand another moderate, or larger, earthquake.Yesterday, Seattle voted to construct a tunnel to replace the aging viaduct.
Judging by the initial statements from the 120 comments posted on the Seattle Times website, not everyone's happy with this decision.
Nor were Bostonians happy with their Big Dig--until it was finished and all the unsightly elevated commuter rails were taken down.
