Mr Lewis makes legitimate points with regard to the services available, of which I was unaware. My point was more that it is easy to dismiss the problems of those on the other side of the tracks, if one doesn't experience them. We are, after all, a community, and boaters and those who live on the "wrong side" might well prefer to be able simply to jump in a car and drive top the hospital, rather than wait for an expensive airlift. As a citizen of Edmonds and part of the community, I am concerned that they do not have the same safety net as the rest of us. Their choice? Yes - but that does not cut them out of the community.
I'll bet I can count on 2 hands the number of people who live on the water side of the tracks. Cabins & condo by Olympic Beach. I would appreciate tax payers spending millions on the few houses in my neighborhood. Alas, not going to happen.
Cost is always the big factor in improvements like this. What have we been paying for all these years to begin with. Where has all my money gone!. why now is it an issue, the population has not grown enough to off set the benefits of the cost. I say wait till the big one hits then it will be a none issue anyway. R
Mr. Brown, I voted no & live on the land side of the tracks. Believe it or not there are emergency services available when trains block the waterfront. ie: USCG, local jurisdiction maritime patrols, air ambulances, etc. I also don't have a boat. What does that have to do with this? If someone chooses to cross west of the tracks, they do so of their own accord.
I'm just wondering how many of the "no" votes live on the land side of the tracks?
And if any of them have boats...
