$32 million boost in transit service for first phase of viaduct work
More buses, more often is the centerpiece of a $32 million
transit plan that will help Seattle commuters during next year’s
start of Alaskan Way Viaduct construction. West Seattle, Ballard and
Aurora Avenue – the neighborhoods most affected by construction – will
see the most service as well as incentives for transit passes, carpools
and other ways to help people avoid being stuck in traffic.
The transit mitigation plan is part of the first phase of planning currently underway by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), King County, and the city of Seattle to repair or replace the first half of the seismically vulnerable viaduct. It will offer more service and more choices to many of the 200,000 workers commuting to downtown Seattle each day. About 40 percent of all downtown workers rely on the bus to get to work. Discussions are still underway for transit mitigation during construction of the one-mile center section of the viaduct. |
