Correction

I made an error a few days ago.

My source for the cost of the seawall was NOT Councilmember Conlin's op-ed or a report by Mike Lindblom (of the Seattle Times) but an article by Susan Gilmore in the Seattle Times on May 4, 2003.

City's seawall is far worse than experts had predicted

"Various proposals for replacing the viaduct call for a new seawall to be part of the project, but replacing the 8,000-foot seawall alone could cost more than $1 billion."
