Bus-proposal postscript: Here’s the map

busmap.jpg

That’s a section of the map distributed at yesterday’s media event announcing the county’s plan to add bus service when major Alaskan Way Viaduct construction kicks in (WSB coverage here and here). The electronic copy of that map (showing specific bus routes that are “candidates for service enhancement” countywide) wasn’t available till just now, so we wanted to share it: Here’s the link to the full map. You may notice something we didn’t catch when we saw the printed-out version: the mention of potential RapidRide “early enhancement.” Might that mean West Seattle RapidRide would start sooner than 2011? Councilmember Dow Constantine‘s staff says we’ll know more when County Executive Ron Sims‘ full proposal gets to the council for review.

    I would love to see my morning (and evening) 23 Bus get an Express option, instead of hitting every single bus stop into downtown!

    What’s with the south end near Roxbury where the blue line staggers around like a drunken sailor?

    Is that a bus route?

    If you click the link to see the full map, the dotted line is the future Rapid Ride route.

Sorry, comment time is over.
