I would like to thank Myron Anderson for his letter as well as his fantastic design of our Issaquah streets. And, as long as we are talking about the design of our town, perhaps we better think about all the years we’ve had to think about traffic and the single point of traffic failure in our town: Front Street.

It’s almost as if it were by design that Issaquah, unlike every other major town in Western Washington, has avoided providing effective traffic solutions down its most significant north-south thoroughfare.

And as much as I would like to come up with a solution to remedy that, I would never go so far as to propose some residential neighborhood bear the brunt of that solution. Imagine solving all of our traffic problems with a southwest bypass through Squak Mountain’s residential neighborhoods — outrageous.

Or creating some sort of exit tunnel in Sycamores — the temerity. Or worse, how about your neighborhood, wherever it is.

Issaquah has a traffic problem, but asking a single neighborhood to solve the problem is not the answer.

Continuing to say that those of us who live closest to Olde Town and Front Street need to do our fair share not only ignores the facts of where and how we have to live given that proximity, but completely and totally sucks.
