Interstate-90 in Seattle (Downtown-Council Island- Bellevue), Restricted Access? Options

[Askani'son]

Hey Folks,

Query about the road network in Seattle (circa 2052) based on the Seattle Sourcebook (SSB).

When referring to Council Island, the SSB talks about restricted road access on to the island via the I-90 bridge - pill boxes in place, access by appointment only, stop-and search, and only allowing a certain number of non-NAN citizens on to the island at any one time.

When referring to Bellevue, the SSB talks about limted access to Bellevue from Downtown via the I-90 bridge and via Route 520 (to the north of I-90) over the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge.

These two entries seem at odds to me - how can the I-90 provide access to Bellevue from Downtown, if the I-90 is restricted at Council Island. I find it hard to believe that the uber-security conscious SSC are going to allow Seattleites free access across the island.

Thoughts/counter-references?

Thanks!
