jtm, on the very rare occasion that I need to drive to 99 in the morning, I actually hop over to Delridge and get on that way, to totally avoid having to merge, even though I already live on Fauntleroy. I just take Fauntleroy to Avalon, turn on Genessee, left on Delridge, and go up that way. I can’t stand merging, and I don’t want to be the one who holds up the bus, so I find it saver and easier to spend the extra time that takes and get on that way and I’m already in the lane I need to be in.
