press release:
In partnership with King County Metro Transit, the Seattle Department of Transportation is making transit improvements in West Seattle to prepare for the launch of Metro’s RapidRide C Line in September. Construction is scheduled to begin this week, affecting the following northbound bus stops:

• Fauntleroy Way SW & SW Rose Street (serving Route 54)
• Fauntleroy Way SW & SW Webster Street (serving Route 54)
• Fauntleroy Way SW & SW Myrtle Street (serving Route 54)
• California Avenue SW & SW Morgan ST (serving routes 54, 22, 128, and 560)
• California Avenue SW & SW Findlay ST (serving routes 54, 22, and 128)
• 35th Avenue SW & SW Avalon Way (serving routes 54, 21, 22, and 55)

Please read Rider Alert announcements posted at each of these bus stops with information about where to board your bus during construction (usually this will be the next bus stop served by the bus route). Buses will serve temporary locations as listed, and will continue with their normal operations.

During construction, traffic and parking restrictions may also be in effect in work zones. Pedestrian detours will be provided when construction affects sidewalks and bus stop areas. Work will take place between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays, with occasional night and weekend work.

For more information on this project, please contact Paul Elliott of the Seattle Department of Transportation at 206-684-5321 or paul.elliott@seattle.gov. You may sign up for regular project updates on the city’s project website, which also features up-to-date information.

For information on changes to bus service during construction, please look for Rider Alert notices at bus stops, visit Metro’s RapidRide blog, or leave a message at 206-296-4511 if you have a specific question and would like a response.
