I agree with jonathan. At least the mayor is trying to do SOMETHING. There is no perfect solution, but no one has come up with anything better. And we have been talking about this for years and years.

Here's my two cents worth of blogging on this:

Something has to be done to modify Mercer and, at least, the Mayor is applying ideas towards the ultimate solution. Right now, I hate walking along Mercer at any time of the day. You either look over your shoulder at the car blazing up the right lane or choke on the fumes from thousands of single commuters leaving the city for the burbs in the evening, or like what happened to us, almost get wiped out on the sidewalk by Far Fetched by someone who thought the sidewalk was part of the road. Once the Amazon buildings are up, it will not make any sense to keep the ugly monstrosity as it is now and beautification will have to take place. We need to make sure our leaders know this and shape Mercer into a Main Street that will suit the residents of the neighborhood, not the residents of Kirkland and Bothell. Remember, it is not just a pathway for Hummers and Saabs to leave the city, it is also part of a neighborhood and should be treated as such.
