TRAFFIC/TRANSIT TODAY: Post-holiday Tuesday updates

(SDOT MAP with travel times/video links; is the ‘low bridge’ closed? LOOK HERE)

6:53 AM: Good morning. If you’re headed toward northbound I-5, there might be a bit of a backup, after an SFD medical response just north of the West Seattle Bridge exit – but the call just closed a moment ago. That’s the only in-or-outbound-from-West Seattle incident so far.

Other notes:

-The Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth Washington State Ferries run remains on a two-boat schedule.

-Utility work on 45th SW in front of Madison Middle School will close the street to all but school buses for a few days, starting as soon as today.

    A lot of folks illegally riding all the way across the bridge in the bus lane. 

    Must be special doctors, or surgeons, or really important people.

      Can’t wait for those cameras.

      People must do a risk/reward calculation because they KNOW they are in the wrong.  Better than getting fired for being late, I suppose (until you get pulled over!).

      I do think some people make their decision (99, 1st, 4th or I-5) based on what they SEE though.  Sadly, you can’t SEE where the backups are until it’s too late.  Wish there was some wiggle room at the top.

      That said, cameras are indeed the best solution.

Sorry, comment time is over.
