In Olympia, through a spokesperson for House Democrats, House Speaker Frank Chopp said today that “there are a lot of different ideas on 520 being discussed right now, and it is too early to say what will happen”.

One novel idea is the myurbanist “Option D-”, which combines an ornamental, pedestrianized SR 520 with a remodeled, state-of-the-art Husky Stadium, as well as a new safer seawall. “Option D-” is the only proposal to simultaneously address three regional infrastructure issues.
