One week until buses change from Barton to Trenton before repaving project, SDOT answers leftover meeting questions

| Transportation | West Seattle news | Westwood

One week from tomorrow, as part of Metro‘s twice-yearly “service change,” buses that normally travel SW Barton in the Westwood Village/Roxhill Park area will start using SW Trenton instead, as SDOT prepares to repave the layover zone alongside the park. That means some major traffic and parking changes – not just for shoppers, parkgoers, and residents, but also for those who use the fields at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex on the north side of Trenton. SDOT convened an online community meeting on March 2 (WSB coverage here), during which project communicators promised to get answers to a variety of leftover questions. Today they’ve sent a compilation of those questions and their answers (see it here). It’s also linked from the project webpage along with a variety of other info about the project, which is expected to begin in April and last into the fall.

I can’t find anything on any of the links or diagrams that shows where or if the C will stop between Fauntleroy and Trenton. That’s a hell of a long stretch with no stops. There are no other bus options, so this will pose a significant hardship for seniors, disabled, or anyone unwilling or unable to walk several mile to Arbor Heights on weekends when there is zero bus service.

The info was in WSB’s previous story on this. There will be stops at 35th/Barton as well as 34th and 29th/Trenton, and then their final layover spot on 25th.

Next up for street repair will be Trenton after the buses cause damage. Good luck to the bus drivers having to navigate Trenton’s pedestrian islands, speed cushions, and the baseball parking. Westwood Village Parking lots are going to be congested with having the Target and Mod Pizza driveways closed. All drivers will be funneled to the remaining 3 driveways at McDonald’s, BOA, and the Post Office. Time to put on the walking shoes!

It is what it is. The road needs to be fixed. We’ll all continue to live another day.

There are FOUR, not three other entrances.
1. McDonalds
2. Bank of America
3. Total Wine
4. Post Office

Trenton resident here. Received a letter explaining changes today, Thursday 3/26. After remaining cars were towed today and bus curb painting happened yesterday. Any reason why some of the space in between the stops and layover space on 25th couldn’t have been used for this as well as the space across the street in front of the vacant building aka the old licensing officealso Trenton will need to be replaced between Delridge and 25th as it is already buckling as well

Sorry, comment time is over.
