6:03 AM: Good morning – we start with these reminders:

FIRST WEEKDAY OF C LINE’S NEW ROUTE: Metro’s service change on Saturday was the start of a new route for the C Line (see the map here), breaking it away from the D Line and sending it to South Lake Union. Here’s more info on that and the other Metro changes.

AVALON/YANCY/30TH/ANDOVER: SDOT announced late last week that this pedestrian-safety project could start as soon as today.

9:02 AM: Robert observed in comments that traffic seemed lighter this morning and wondered who might be out on spring break. Spot check of calendars confirms parochial schools are out this week; Seattle and Vashon public-school districts aren’t out until the week of April 11th, but Highline is out next week.

11:29 AM: We went by Yancy/Avalon (etc.) to check on that project. No work yet – but they’re clearly staging, as workers were clustered around one corner, conferring, with paperwork. Dry weather is expected as the week proceeds. Also noticed while we were out, City Light work on Alki Avenue just east of Alki Point.

Traffic seemed a little lighter than normal. Observation from 7:15. Some spring breaks this week?

Sorry to have not researched and mentioned that. Parochial schools are out this week, according to their calendars. Seattle Public Schools and Vashon aren’t out until the week of April 11th; Highline Public Schools (White Center and southward), next week. – TR

  Interesting Portland suburbs were last week. I guess Easter Monday is a holiday in some places folks might be observing that?
