TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Friday updates; looking ahead

(Four WS-relevant views; more cams on the WSB Traffic page)
Good morning – no problems so far on the routes through/from West Seattle, and SDOT describes traffic overall as “relatively light.” You’ve probably heard the citywide media previewing how demonstrations for May Day *might* affect traffic later; we’ll be monitoring everything too and will be updating during the afternoon/evening commute if there’s anything you need to know while headed this way.

METRO NOTES: Starting next week, bus-stop closures downtown will affect some lines serving West Seattle. Read about them here.

FERRY FARES: Washington State Ferries’ seasonal fare changes took effect today.

WEEKEND I-90 ALERT: Eastbound I-90 is reduced to one lane east of I-5 for another round of tunnel work this weekend, so heads-up for those traffic effects.

    Thank you, once again, WSB! I will be taking the bus downtown on Monday. Thanks to your vigilance, I now know I will need a bit extra time.

    MetroTransit’s advisory states that 3rd Avenue southbound bus riders are supposed to “Use the temporary stop northbound on 3rd Av just south of Pike St.” Looks like Metro did not check their directions — I suspect they meant to say “southbound”?!

Sorry, comment time is over.
