So we’ll keep routes 8 and 11 on their current paths, resulting in a gap in frequency for riders along this pathway as well as much less bus service to downtown Seattle for the Summit neighborhood (service that would have been provided by our adopted changes to Route 11). Metro tested the turns with buses, and our traffic engineers developed a traffic rechannelization plan, which SDOT rejected. The purpose of these changes was to keep frequent east-west service that connects with light rail at the new Capitol Hill Station, to improve transfers with Route 48 at 23rd Avenue E, to maintain service on all parts of E Madison Street, and to serve Route 43 riders after that route becomes a peak-only route.
We were planning to revise routes 8 and 11 to operate on E Madison Street and 19th Avenue E, continuing to/from E John Street. SDOT has agreed to make roadway modifications and other improvements in eight places, but declined to make modifications that would support our approved changes for routes 8 and 11 on Capitol Hill and in the Central Area. Metro is working with the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and other partners to make sure these changes will be successful. Find details of adopted changes on our project website. The adopted changes will make transit service more frequent and reliable, create new connections, and improve mobility for thousands of King County residents. The King County Council has approved bus service changes for March 2016 that will integrate Metro buses with new Link light rail service to Capitol Hill and the University of Washington.
Weigh in on a potential change to Route 10: take our survey Routes 8 and 11 will keep their current routing Metro and Sound Transit are working with the public to plan how bus service will connect with new light rail. Link is coming to Capitol Hill and Husky Stadium in early 2016.
