Microsoft: They Keep Growing And Growing

Microsoft announced today they're speeding up campus expansion plans in Redmond.

This is literally huge for the Eastside area, and Redmond in particular, but it will introduce additional traffic nightmares for the 520 corridors. There needs to be a long term transportation plan that Microsoft helps make a reality to deal with the side effects on the roads. Don't get me wrong, the economic boom is a great thing for the area, but it needs to happen in tandem with a transportation infrastructure plan that can absorb the growth - and building wider roadways is not the only solution that must be proposed.
