That would be a nice thought, but I am certain Seattle is collecting pot holes instead of fixing them. The recent waste of tax payer funds (past project were to make long steep hills into bike lanes and reduce car lanes) in Roger and my neck of the woods has been to install traffic calming devices on main roads that intersect a residential street that has become a semi dedicated bike lane. Two lanes become one, transit blocks the road, since it is but a block away from a main road running parallel to the bike road and the buses are extra long and intrude into the intersection of the bike route. Twenty blocks of stupidity at least.
