As commenter Oran points out, the service changes brochure is already online. Southwest King County front page Southwest King County brochure (pdf) We’ve talked a lot about Southeast Seattle changes, but not this area of King County.Â Interestingly, they’ll be impacted not only by LINK to the Airport, but also the Pacific Highway RapidRide opening in 2010. Since I don’t understand its commute patterns as well, I had less of a vision for what this service should look like.Â Â Nevertheless, it looks like they’re working pretty hard to tie in the Tukwila Sounder station and Southcenter with light rail.Â I know I’m disagreeing with many a colleagues when I point out that a Boeing Access Road LINK station would get rid of the need for a lot of this by organically collecting Sounder, LINK, and I-5 buses all in one place. They’re also encouraging a good chunk of the population West of I-5 to take bus to RapidRide to light rail,...

Municipal League of King County makes an odd endorsement choice

[I was forbidden to blog during the 2008 campaign, so this is less timely than I would like it to have been... Oh well.] The Municipal League of King County has a really noble mission. They rate candidates for political office, giving voters more information while subjecting the political process to a modicum of quality control. They do a pretty good job of it, too. Candidates gripe about their ratings (”Good” isn’t as good as “Very Good,” while “Out... more

When I talk about transportation, I keep coming back to one overarching theme. People will ask me what I think of biofuels, or a new bus route, or I’ll end up talking to someone about density or the design of a building, and they all fit together. What will keep working - what will still be here - in fifty years? In two hundred? In a thousand? Where can we make decisions now that will save the next generations from some of the disasters we’ve wrought? How can we build cities that w... more

The new $31.2 million center-freeway station in South Everett looks amazing (see photo above). Sound Transit built it. The new station will save buses from having to merge from the left lane to the exit, and then from the right lane into the carpool-lane, and also has 400 parking spots. Nice, though of course 400 spots seems to low, we should be building 1000-spot park-and-rides. Thanks to a $2.2 million FTA grant , Metro and Sound Transit are adding 12 more hybrid buses to th... more
