As a fellow Lake Stevens resident I could not agree more with your insights and opinions on our traffic congestion problems. Ride share and car pooling on the trestle will only further increase the congestion along this choke point. I think it's time we demand a meritorium on building permits and land development projects in our community until a resolution can be reached that will address this increasing issue. Adding another choke point on the trestle or some scheme to bi-pass a portion by traveling underneath by the fraction of those who will benefit from a car pool lane  will compound the traffic exponentially for all other drivers. How is this not common sense?
