Mayor Nickels just announced that the city will reverse its policy and use salt in future snowstorms. Great, but what about the fact that, presumably as a result of the storm just passed, many major roads — the Alaskan Way Viaduct and West Seattle Bridge, to name but two — now have virtually invisible lane delineation, making sideswipes a far more probable threat. Mark my words: one helluva re-striping process is soon to rear its car-clogging reflective cones. And that’s not even taking pothole proliferation into account.
