Various qualified and competent structural Engineers have evaluated the Alaskan Way Viaduct damage and have stated that repair is possible without disrupting traffic flow and at for far less coat than replacement (the state choice) as a tunnel (the mayor's choice). When the state and the city prepare the ballot wording for the November election, repair will not be an option.

Mark Twain (I think) said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." 61 of the 64 opuses "ain't broke." Lets vote to repair them but prepare a backup plan in case we ever get the big one. We need a third option to repair the viaduct on the November ballot.

Will someone (beside Tim Eyman) familiar with the initiative process please step forward and take charge.
