TRAFFIC, TRANSIT, WEATHER: Monday arrives

6:01 AM: Good morning! It’s Monday, February 6th.

WEATHER

Cloudy and breezy, rain likely, high around 50.

TODAY’S TRANSIT STATUS

Metro is on its regular schedule, but still canceling some trips/suspending some routes, so keep watching notification channels such as @kcmetroalerts for trip cancellations and route suspensions. (Yes, we’re still waiting to hear from Metro about how the bus repairs are going.)

-Regular schedule for the West Seattle Water Taxi.

Washington State Ferries‘ Triangle Route continues on a two-boat schedule – check here for alerts/updates.

TRUCK TRAFFIC

Some wondered about the backup of port-bound trucks last week. The terminal operators changed terminal opening times from 7 am to 8 am, “largely due to decreased cargo volumes coming into the NWSA gateway,” per the Northwest Seaport Alliance.

SPOTLIGHT CAMERAS

Delridge cameras: Besides the one below (Delridge/Oregon), cameras are also up at Delridge/Genesee, Delridge/Juneau, Delridge/Orchard, and Delridge/Henderson.

    Appreciate your note on the port traffic last week. It looked backed up today again from what I could see from the C.

    The Port traffic was a mess again today.  Backed up to Michigan on I-5.  Southbound 1st Ave backed up to Lander, as were the side streets trying to enter SB 1st Ave.  We detoured to that old “backway” (Marginal).  Hard to believe that a one hour shift change would dramatically alter traffic that much.  Something else going on?  Who would be a contact with City or State to monitor this?

Sorry, comment time is over.
