The Alaskan Way Viaduct Project is maliciously and fraudulently misconceived. Not having any mid-town exits and requiring tolls to be financed capacity of the project is roughly half of the existing Viaduct.
Efforts to blame delays in the process on so-called 'NIMBY's' are just a desperate attempt at scapegoating others for a complete lack of managerial ability and financial integrity among the downtown Seattle elite.
Statewide political bullying to extort money is criminal - using false allegations of sexual degeneracy as a tool only makes your 'team' a bunch of gang banging trash.

RE: Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Project SDEIS
To whom it concerns:
These comments are submitted late for reasons substantive to the flaws of this project, as specifically detailed by the City of Seattle.
I have been active in local civic and transportation issues since 1986, most notably since 1987 on the 520 design issue, an alternative just recently, and also improperly, removed from consideration concluding my active involvement around the time of the passage of the original Sound Transit funding package. (and, perhaps coincidentally not long after the ‘corporate welfare’ controversy regarding the reopening of Pine Street and the misuse of federal HUD funds.) Further, I have professional and academic experience indirectly germane to this topic, including an honor’s degree from the University of Washington with a labor market Senior’s Thesis.
Assertions of ‘Nimby’ interference with the process to date are false. The previous preferred tunnel solution was flawed, a fact thankfully, finally, realized prior to the start of that project, thanks to a full and timely public process and the responsible action of the Washington State Legislature.
This project is even more flawed, less so in engineering feasibility, but more so in operational and financial aspects. These flaws appear to be intentional, a ‘planned’ cost overrun requiring additional unbudgeted expense and legal fees in what amounts to nothing more than a conspiracy of barratry between Governor Gregoire with her cronies and the legal business sector of the City of Seattle.
Substantively, these practices include the sexual defamation of informed and responsible citizens whose constructive comments are grounded in fiscal responsibility and fiduciary responsibility to the public’s money and assets backed up by threat of assassination by Seattle and State armed police. It is the effects of this action that cause my comments to be late, including current efforts to obstruct justice and psychological effects – serious enough to have created disabling physical conditions.
This project is nothing but a bailout for the worst sort of malicious failures. By their own standards and the 5th and 14th amendments of the Constitution the ‘process’ of this project amounts to nothing more than the armed rape and theft of not only Seattle, but every citizen of the State of Washington.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the above is true.
