Seen on SW Trenton, with two days to go until bus switchover

| West Seattle news | Westwood

Thanks to Juanita for the tip. “No Parking” signs line SW Trenton from 35th all the way to Delridge as the bus switchover approaches – as we’ve reported, starting Saturday – a little early to coincide with Metro‘s spring “service change. Buses that would usually travel on SW Barton east of 35th, with a layover zone alongside the north edge of Roxhill Park, will instead be traveling on SW Trenton and using 25th SW as a layover zone, while Barton is repaved. At least one lane of Barton will remain open to other vehicles. If you’ve missed previous reports on project details, here’s the project website. The No Parking signs are related to restriping work that’s starting this weekend too.

It’s about time that this got fixed! Feels like a roller coaster going over that bumpy section of road.

So it looks like the bus stop for the C line and 21 at the corner of 35th and Roxbury will be closed, and people in Arbor Heights will need to walk 25 or 30 minutes (or more, depending upon where you live in Arbor Heights) to a stop on Trenton? This doesn’t sound like the best thought-out plan for many reasons.

When I was last at the corner of 35th and Barton ( I think that’s what you meant) right next to what used to be Tony’s market but is now home to the food truck and junk removal, there was a temp sign that the C (headed to Westwood) and 21(headed to the city) would stop there. If you click on the map in the article there is a green bus stop at that location as well as a green bus stop at the gas station next to the library. Bus yes, if you’re coming from the city on the 21, you would either get off at SW Trenton btwn 35th and 34th and walk, or stay on the 21 and walk from the last stop which will now be next to the Total Wine on SW Trenton, or, if you catch the 21x, to my knowledge, that’s not changing since it doesn’t run down Barton. Or, if you’ve got time, ride the 21 to the last stop, walk down the block to where the first stop is next to the Rite Aid and ride that around to 35th and Roxbury. No easy solutions, fingers crossed this is over by the fall!

Sorry, comment time is over.
