As heavy equipment moves into Sandpoint to build a highway bypass that will separate the resort community from its waterfront, here is a prediction whose value is probably limited to a point of future interest: Sandpoint will live to regret this move.

And amid all the arguing and court battling over construction of the Sand Creek bypass that is now scheduled to begin, it hasn't seen one/Jim Fisher. Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Do you think Sandpoint will live to regret this project, as Seattle has? Or will the project be similar to the long-overdue I90 construction that now whisks traffic above Wallace than through it?
