Listening to tonight's Federal Way city council land use committee meeting, where a councilmember was questioning the need to add a sidewalk to a street directly connecting Federal Way High School with the light rail station, "because it's a residential area" and would impact parking.

Sidewalks, between the high school and the Link station? Naw, that might eliminate some illegal parking spaces…

    It’s a slippery slope. If you allow for a sidewalk for children between a school and transit, where does it end? Safe sidewalks for adults? What about able bodied adults? Shouldn’t we be means testing sidewalks or are we just gonna hand out free sidewalks to everyone?

    That’s communism, friend. Can’t have it.
