SEATTLE — The Seattle Department of Transportation has announced its plan to upgrade the bus-only lanes along Rainier Avenue South in tandem with a one-mile extension of the bus-only lane that will be built in 2024.
“New treatments” include signs and rumble strips.
“We work with our partners at King County Metro to install bus-only lanes around the city so that bus service is reliable and frequent. We then observe the locations to understand if the lanes keep buses moving,” said a spokesperson.
The Washington State Department of Transportation says that bus-only lanes support public bus service while allowing drivers to access parking spaces and local businesses.
More information about the improvement plan can be found on the SDOT website.
