Metro looking at South King restructures to complement RapidRide I
Metro is looking for your feedback on RapidRide I, a major investment in South King mobility that will provide frequent service between Renton, Kent and Auburn. See our previous coverage here.
At over 15 miles in length, the I line will beat out the E for the title of longest RapidRide line. It'll also probably be the one that passes by the most farmland. For now, anyway. The Kent Valley has seen rapid suburbanization in recent years, and the arrival of frequent, all-day transit service is welcome.
Meanwhile, Metro is taking advantage of this increased increased frequency to restructure some routes in South King. One of the most significant changes would create a mini-grid around Kent Station with some through-routed buses to provide greater connectivity.
Both surveys (RapidRide, S. King Restructures) close on August 25. I'm not a frequent South King transit rider so tell us what else is interesting.
