This project includes the extension of the northbound bus lane on Rainier Ave S from S Walden St to S State St, along with other safety changes requested by community members to make it easier and safer to get around on this busy street. This project will improve the reliability of the Route 7 bus and get us ready for the future RapidRide R Line [ https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/metro/travel-options/bus/rapidride/r-line?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ].

Through collaboration with King County Metro, our goal is to make transit an accessible, convenient, and reliable transportation choice. This project includes:


* New red painted bus lane between S Walden St and S State St in the northbound direction
* Sidewalk repair in areas where the most people walk and take the bus on Rainier Ave S
* At S College St and S State St:
* New signals to make it easier and safer for people to cross the street
* New marked crosswalks
* ADA-compliant curb ramps
* New Streetlights

We've been reaching out to community members, community-based organizations, and businesses in the project area and will continue to do so in the next few weeks. We want to share construction information with neighbors and community members.
