Friday Roundtable: Metro Trolley Wire Map

While most people looking at the sky today are hoping to see fireworks, I prefer to look at overhead trolleybus wires. The map below outlines the location of all trolleybus wires in Seattle. This dataset was created by King County and last updated in 2018. While the map has not been updated in 7 years, it is still mostly up to date. The biggest change not reflected in the map is the removal of trolley wire from Madison St from the RapidRide G Li…Read Article

A Bus Network for Access Above Demand

Hypothetical King County Metro 24/7 Network map of north Seattle. Route colors are chosen arbitrarily. This is a hypothetical redesign of King County Metro’s transit service in the Seattle area, with smaller changes to Sound Transit service, meant to enhance riders’ ability to reach destinations throughout the city whatever the time of day. Within the city’s borders, every stop is served by at least one route with 15-minute or better headways, 2…Read Article

Add Bus Service to First Avenue

Ryan Parker had a recent editorial about adding bus service on First Avenue. I completely agree. There are many options and issues to consider. Center Running with Normal Buses Many of you are familiar with the RapidRide G buses on Madison Street that run in the center of the street and use center platforms. These buses avoid congestion that occasionally occurs with BAT lanes. There are no turning cars to worry about: it’s is like a busway in th…Seattle · Seattle Read Article

SR 520 historical transit routes With the Montlake Lid bus stop opening in April, this article will recap the past and briefly explore the future of transit on SR-520.

This article will briefly look at Metro’s planned deletion of routes 541 and 545, expansion of route 542, and fut…Seattle · Seattle Read Article

Today’s Roundtable looks at the current trail extent, and two future segments that will connect four major trails in south King County.

Brainstorming Fixes for ST3

Once again, Sound Transit is reconsidering its priorities as economic realities clash with its ambitious service expansion program. The Sound Transit Board recently attended a retreat focused on understanding the challenges facing the agency, including a brainstorming session to come up with ideas for cutting costs in order to afford the many projects planned under ST3. Since the results of that retreat are not yet public knowledge, it seems app…Seattle · Seattle Read Article

Past Plans 1980s ~ 2000s

There’s been some discussion about past plans such as Forward Thrust (1970s). However, many other plans were debated. The Link light rail could have ended up as a very different variant of light rail. This article will provide a brief overview of the past plans and some light commentary. PSCOG 1986 The general alignments in the PSCOG 1986 plans aren’t too different from the eventual ST2 with a branched line heading from Lynnwood to Seattle and t…Seattle · Seattle Read Article
