		Metro forming Ballard-Interbay advisory group Metro Transit, in consultation with the city of Seattle, is planning new bus rapid transit service called RapidRide for the Ballard-Interbay-Uptown Queen Anne corridor. RapidRide will be frequent, easy-to-use service designed to keep people moving quickly throughout the day in this heavily used corridor. Metro is recruiting members for a community advisory panel that will provide advice about RapidRide routing, stop locations and other matters. The advisory panel will meet one or two times a month between October 2008 and March 2009, with regular meetings on Thursday evenings. Metro is seeking bus riders and others who live or work in the Ballard, Interbay, Magnolia, Uptown Queen Anne and Belltown neighborhoods to serve on this advisory group. Applications are due by Friday, Aug. 1. More information is available at Metro Online. Project will impact intersection near Auburn Starting Wednesday, July 16, the King County Road Services Division will begin a project to improve the intersection of Southeast 304th Street and 124th Avenue Southeast near Auburn Mountainview High School. The county is building a roundabout at the intersection to ease the flow of increased traffic traveling to and from the high school, other schools, and new development in the area. To complete the improvements as quickly as possible Southeast 304th Street on both sides of 124th Avenue Southeast will be closed through the end of August. There will also be intermittent closures on 124th Avenue near the intersection. Local detours will be posted near the intersection, and motorists are urged to drive through the construction area with care.
