First Kent sold the 9-hole golf course.  Then the city gave a huge apartment developer a multi-million dollar tax exemption.  Now we are going to pay for a promenade so that the contractor's 500-apartment tenants can walk to Safeway for their weekly shopping? No.  They will drive their cars so they can put the groceries in the trunk.  $250,000 will be spent on design & more millions taxpayer dollars to build this fancy walkway/boulevard/bike path.  How many months is it nice enough to promenade to Safeway?  This is like the money pit ShoWare Center - a vanity project that has never broken even any year since it was built.   We'll be inundated with new residents (and crime) as more Seattle folks move here.  We pay property taxes for these boondoggles and the city just keeps crying about parks & streets funding while providing huge financial giveaways to corporations.  Why are there only two major east-west roads (Kent Kangley and James Street)?  Traffic is a mess.  Fix that.
