District 1 City Councilmember Lisa Herbold shares the pros and cons of repair and/or replacement options for the ailing West Seattle Bridge. She urges people to take the survey she's sponsoring on those options.

Seattle will soon decide whether to repair or replace the West Seattle Bridge. The West Seattle Bridge Community Task Force, the Seattle Department of Transportation, and SDOT's Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) of engineering experts are charged with advising the Mayor - who will ultimately make this critical decision. I’m writing to request your participation in a survey for District 1 constituents about this decision.
