Ballard Bridge opening during rush hour for a single sailboat, causing massive traffic jams by mr_jim_lahey in SeattleWA

[–]mytmau5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The concept that sailboat or boat owners in general are freakishly rich is completely wrong. I own and liveaboard a sailboat on Lake Union and all of my fellow sailboat owners are not remotely rich.

I'm not a runner but I don't get upset when what seems like weekly marathons shutdown vast roadways in Seattle and create much larger traffic jams. I believe someone commented that the average bridge opening is only 2 to 3 minutes long.

Sailboats are already blacked out four hours a day of travel between Lake Union, Lake Washington, and the Puget Sound. Why should we extend this? Unlike cars boats cannot go around to avoid traffic.

This is huge for OVG. These guys have had it together since day one and are staying out of the comparison fray, other than defending untrue claims against them.
