Looking forward to the remodel. I’ve always appreciated the reader board and the community messages.

I appreciate the Nakata family’s commitment to Winslow and their community. From the drawing I do see two levels, yet the article reads the market will be one level … that leads me to think that the upper (deck) might be the cafe ? and perhaps that two story glass area near the rear more of an atrium type floral/plant department ? An update for main street will be a good thing !

Please consider making it an all-deep pool if possible, if it will be a community pool. The community will make a killing on rentals from the various aquatics clubs if they do so, which are currently unable to meet all their needs at BAC. Could be a real moneymaker!

OK, well…the least they can do is find out if they are actually soul mates. You never know….

Larry of BI hurried back to his truck because he was afraid all that ammo was going to jump out of the boxes and injure him. Ammo randomly going off is in the liberal halfwit manual.

We have to end the loophole so creeps stop showing up at these buy backs. Get it done Olympia, you have the public support.

another feel good but basically useless measure by the BI government.

About as effective as banning plastic bags but hey don’t we feel superior

Twelve guns? Ha, they sell that many at 20 minutes in sportsmans. And as for the guy being terrified of finding a couple shotgun shells this is why we need better education on firearms. I would say more but the rebuttals practically write themselves, what a riot.

Comment on Breaking down the Monday highway closure by Michael Mesic

Delays related to serious traffic accidents are inevitable, as many commenters have noted. And replacement or expansion of the bridge itself is unlikely in the foreseeable future. What may be possible, however, is a reduction in the likelihood of additional accidents. As a frequent user of the bridge, I’ve noticed that many drivers heading to the bridge from Bainbridge Island appear to cut the turn as they near the bridge. A small miscalculation or moment of in attention and they could be over the line.

Why not use some inexpensive, but potentially effective measures to reduce the risks inherent in the road and bridge design? For instance, reduce the speed limit near and over the bridge; put in video enforcement of the speed limits; install yellow rubber lane dividers that are flexible but make a strong visual reminder of where your lane ends and the oncoming lane begins; and perhaps signs that provide warnings of the danger the approaches and the bridge represent. If all the inexpensive things could be done, we might see a less frequent repetition of the regrettable events of this week and last year.
