On Tuesday, June 30th, from 5p – 6p, King County METRO and the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) will host a virtual meeting on the METRO Route #40 Transit-Plus Multimodal Corridor project.
To increase the speed and reliability of Route #40 bus route, METRO and SDOT have been gathering input. They’ve done a survey, in March, and compiled the answers from 1,000 respondents, along with information from METRO drivers on their experiences.
They found five priorities among that data, for improving Route #40:
- Bus speed and reliability
- Pedestrian and bicycle accessibility improvements as well as crossings
- Keep cars and freight moving
- Reducing traffic speed for safety reasons
- Keep parking along the route
The June 30th Virtual Meeting will talk about what SDOT and METRO are planning for improvements, and allow participants to offer input. To attend the Virtual Meeting at 5p, RSVP on Facebook (click here,) or through Microsoft Teams (click here.)
