Sightline includes link to a draft paper by Tom Byers of the Cedar River Group, "who's got a smart, homespun way of thinking about the recent controversy surrounding Seattle's Alaskan Way Viaduct."

"...when none of the officially sanctioned policy options look good, it's time for some fresh and creative thinking about the problem."

The paper illustrates "a third way on the Viaduct -- concentrating on moving people and freight, rather than cars."
