Opposition Mounts Against Mercer Fix

Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata isn't the only one making a fuss about the Mercer Fix.

Three neighborhood organizations have stated their opposition: the Queen Anne Community Council, the Magnolia Community Club and the Fremont Chamber of Commerce. Notice that Mercer Street is not in any of the neighborhoods these organizations represent (Queen Anne Community Council is not to be confused with the Uptown Alliance).

"It's a for-the-look-of-it project for (South Lake Union developer) Vulcan. I'm all for Vulcan but the truth is it ain't about looks, it's about how we move," said Fremont Chamber's Suzie Berke.

Forget about making the city walkable or livable, I want to get home four minutes sooner! For more of this attitude, read the rest of the article on the P-I. Or better yet, come to tonight's Cascade Neighborhood Council meeting with Nick Licata.
