The West Seattle Bridge Community Task Force, formed as part of set of advisors to Mayor Jenny Durkan, came closer to end of their mission on Oct. 21. They reviewed both the Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) that has taken more than 200 days to develop and a newer idea, a tied arch super structure replacement plan that was only announced last week.
