Seen in Fauntleroy: 1st RapidRide signs; Toxic-Free Kids’ Fair

The first signed, benched, and delivered RapidRide C Line stops in West Seattle are on both sides of California SW by the Fauntleroy Schoolhouse. Street and sidewalk work to facilitate the stops and stations for the new bus service, set to launch this fall, has been under way for 4 weeks, but these are the first signs we’ve seen. (The sign and bench are the basic amenities for a RapidRide stop; other stops/stations will have shelters and real-time bus schedule information.) The stop in our photo is on the east side of the street, just steps from Fauntleroy Church, where we spotted it after stopping for a photo of today’s Toxic-Free Kids’ Fair:

The fair, previewed here on Saturday, was a presentation of the church’s Green Committee, which has another of its always-busy Recycle Roundups coming up on April 29th – save your electronics and other items to bring by, 9 am-3 pm that day (the church website will eventually have a list of what they’ll take and what they won’t).

    Rapid Ride!!! I am looking forward to more frequent bus service and the cross town connector routes we will be getting.

    The Toxics Free Kid fair was highly informative, with toy testing (for lead, cadmium and PVC) by Wa Toxics Coalition, a great resource list, and excellent discussions and samples of safer kids products.

    Here’s hoping that “Rapid Ride” actually lives up to its name.

    It was a great fair with lots of good info and alternatives. Lullaby Organics was one of the vendors of non-toxic bath and bed products for children — if you live in WA State but missed the event, you can still take advantage of their offer of NO WA STATE SALES TAX thru the end of March. Use coupon code WATAX at http://www.lullabyorganics.com … they had really cute organic cotton blankets and pajamas and non-toxic toys, etc.

Sorry, comment time is over.
