Here's my in-depth learned summary of today's city council
hearing on proposed bridge projects in the city, about 98 percent of which focused on the
future plans for the
11th Street Bridges:
* Some people are against it.
* Some people are for it.
The three-hour hearing should be posted soon on the Channel 13
On Demand lineup for this week, if you want to see for yourself the specifics. But really, it all boils down to arguments over capacity, over whether local streets will see a reduction in cut-through commuter traffic, and differences between Capitol Hill residents and advocacy groups and east-of-the-river residents and advocacy groups, none of whom spoke with any sort of uniform voice.
And since no one spoke about any of the preferred design's impacts on Near Southeast specifically (of which
there are a few, mainly the revamped interchanges at 11th and M), I'll just leave it to others to go into more detail.
