Letter: Widen King Street for west side commuters

Dennis Callan has it right (“King Street a better option than rail for city-center transit,” Star-Advertiser, Island Voices, April 4)!

He has produced a detailed plan for King Street, showing exactly where it can be widened, often without much construction (bit.ly/2FOJq27).

I hope your paper will print at least part of his plan to show how easily King Street could be used to provide a speedy corridor to downtown.

Stopping rail at Middle Street would give west side commuters a way to get past the worst bottlenecks — the H-1/H-2 merge and the Middle Street merge.

Once at the Middle Street station, commuters can take the bus on King Street to their destination.
