Traffic Insanity 2007: What Will You Do?

You have probably heard by now that three lanes of northbound I-5 will be shut down at Spokane Street for three weeks, starting tonight.

Now--if you don't plan to venture south of Spokane St until September, and, frankly, why would you, you don't have to worry about it.

But some of you--and some of us--do. Our top-secret Batman plan is this:

--Cut west on 518 (the highway that leads to the airport)

--Take 509 north

--Just after we get over the 1st Avenue South Bridge (which will be a nightmare), detour over to 4th Ave

--Drive up to the underused I-5 entrance on 4th just north of Holgate St.

That would put us on I-5 north of Spokane Street, where presumably tumbleweeds are rolling across the roadway and we can take up two or three lanes.

What's your plan for next week's commute?
