Vote Noh in Novemmbur
The mouthbreathers who oppose public transportation are striking early against the roads/transit package that will appear on November's ballot. Unfortunately they are striking with a weapon they have little facility with: The English Language.
Obviously, when the heaviest reading you do is of street signs, your spelling gets a little rusty. "Popultion"?
And "fewer than 1% of the popultion will ever set foot on it." What's "it"? Ever set foot on the roads? Well you probably won't set foot on a road, unless you are Fred Flintstone.
If you want to kill a few more brain cells, you can head over to TruthAboutTraffic.org, where you'll learn that:
"our individual freedoms and prosperity are indelibly linked to freedom of mobility" (freedoms are indelibly linked to freedom--can't argue with that)
"and are wholly dependent on building and maintaining a transportation system that serves every individual equally in the way they choose to travel."
Of course by, "serves every individual equally in the way they choose to travel," they mean "spend every last cent on roads." Car drivers already have two bridges across Lake Washington, we're going to assume that Truth About Traffic wouldn't--for the sake of equality--favor a pair of bridges each for those who drive recumbent bicycles, skateboards and pogo sticks.
The roads/transit package, which goes on the November ballot, will fund $18.9 billion worth of road and transit improvements, including funding for a new 520 bridge, and 50 miles of light rail.
