I saw where Bremerton City Councilman Mike Shepard proposed buying Seattle’s World Fair monorail and moving it to downtown Bremerton.

What great sense it makes to spend the taxpayers hard-earned dollars on a 42 year-old piece of equipment that’s prone to breakdown, made by a company no longer in business, for which repair parts are hard to come by and probably need to be custom-machined.

Now, Poulsbo Councilman Jim Henry is proposing a monorail between Bainbridge Island and the Olhava site in Poulsbo to alleviate the traffic problem.

This sounds like an expensive solution looking for a problem.

How about just four-laning Highway 305 across the island and building that bridge from Bremerton? That would solve the problem, but it might inconvenience a few Bainbridge residents and upset their idyllic lifestyle.

God forbid THAT should happen! Oh well, back to the drawing board.
