Okay, so no answer, Island? Yes we do have a transportation infrastructure problem, or no we don't. Check a box.
Frankly, I'm not so sure about Monorail or Sounder trains. I notice those are competing agencies (actually I don't think Monorail is an agency but...) and that WSDOT is not in those games. Competing agencies for the same purpose. I wonder if competition is really appropriate here.
And I wonder if you really are so clouded with anger as to assume that nobody is doing queueing analysis. Hard to believe, but do you really think WSDOT is a large building packed with engineers and nobody is doing queue analysis, and nobody is even asking relevant analytical questions?
And are you aware of the ratio of King County population compared to Washington State, and the proportion of tax revenues generated here versus there, and the proportion of highway funding spent here, versus there. Are you like those Eastern Washington yokels with the completely false but deeply held conviction that rural money is spend on urban road projects, instead of the truth. Truth is, as I can only believe you already know, that rural tax bases are subsidized by urban ones, particularly with regard to roadbuilding. That's one of my most important points. The Seattle commercial machinery is what powers this state. Shall we let it die on the vine?
Telecommuting is taking some pressure off, yes. If you guessed that Superman is a big fan of telecommuting, you'd be correct.
