State Sen. Ed Murray and Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn at a Monday news conference where an alternative 520 bridge configuration was unveiled. People in Seattle and on the Eastside prefer a new 520 bridge that would feature light rail and bus lanes as opposed to carpool lanes, according to polling cited at a news conference where community groups, lawmakers and Mayor Mike McGinn touted their preferences for replacing the Lake Washington span.
