The emotion over increasing access to the lower Spokane Street Bridge was evident Wednesday during a meeting of the West Seattle Bridge Community Task Force.
Even as members celebrated an important milestone in the plan to get traffic moving again, the most heated discussion occurred when Seattle Department of Transportation officials were pressed about increasing individual access to the lower swing bridge over the Duwamish River.
The upper bridge was closed almost one year ago on March 23 after structural engineers said the bridge could collapse when concrete cracks began to expand at a faster than anticipated pace.
