Bikes and buses  – Now that the weather is warming up, we see more bicycle riders in King County commuting to work. Some use the bus for part of their commute, and many have to share the road with buses, especially in the busy downtown areas. With that in mind Metro Transit has produced a new video that emphasizes bus and bicycle safety.
 
 

Great blue herons They’re not as famous as the swallows who return to San Juan Capistrano year after year, but the great blue herons are back in Kenmore, and thanks to a joint effort by Metro Transit, the City of Kenmore and the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, you can see the herons better than ever.

Its been a complicated project, because of environmental challenges and the road has had to stay open during construction.
 

Bus shelters  – Who hasn’t been thankful on a rainy or windy day for a bus shelter to stand under while waiting for your bus? Well bus shelters have come a long way in King County and some are even sporting a new look.
