If they put a toll on the 520; most drivers just use the I-90 bridge to avoid the toll. Major congestion on the I-90 and the 520 is underutilized.....Can't put a toll on the I-90 as it's an interstate Highway......What to do, same as we always do, DO NOTHING!!!

No one wants a new bridge or major freeway by their house so that why no new ones have been built since the 70's in the Seattle Area. We also lost the Fed Gov money we had in our hand but couldn't figure out how to spend on rapid transit ( money went to Atlanta finally).
The Island has low tax rates but high property valuations....We really need to delete those island express lanes
