Car vs bus vs another car in the bus lane at the top of the entrance from avalon. Blocking bus lane. No apparent injuries.

Has anyone seen SPD enforcing the bus lane in the last few months? Either on Avalon or Spokane ST or on the bridge?

WSB September 13, 2017 (9:58 am)

On the bridge just yesterday, according to a reader’s comment on Twitter.

There were several officers that went whizzing past this morning and didn’t pay any attention but that was likely due to the accident. The buses eventually moved into the left lane on Avalon and just cut all the cars in the bus lane off by turning in front of them at the entrance to the bridge. I may have cheered a little on the inside when I saw what they were doing. On a slightly separate issue my recurring thought this morning was “Where can I send the check monthly to make the light rail expansion happen NOW?”

Sorry, comment time is over.
