Meh. This article is way too hyper focused on one tiny corner of the city. Any and all traffic proposals must consider the greater region. I-5 into the city, 405 into Bellevue, within the city, 90/520 across the lake, etc. Almost 100% of people in the greater Seattle area care a lot of about traffic. It affects us all. Only a tiny handful care about South Lake Union specifically. The severe lack of arterials in our region is insane. The fact that there is no reasonable way to get from Ballard/Freemont to I-5 is mind boggling. Everyone loves to bitch about the gentrification of Capitol Hill/Central District. If there was more than one tiny land mass that allowed you to get across the lake it'd be less of an issue. If 520 was accessible by Freemont, Ballard, Queen Anne, and Magnolia the area that could live on the west side and commute to the east would increase by at least 8x.
