- Three Years of Central Link Station Data May 18, 2013Bruce Gray at Sound Transit was kind enough to send us the newest station level data report for Link. These reports are a treasure trove of information, too much in fact for one post. Some things I found interesting: During the week the Rainier Valley (Beacon Hill Station to Rainier Beach Station) accounts for 28% of all boardings and [...]Matthew Johnson
- Google Maps Introduces Guidebook Routing May 17, 2013Lots of interesting things have been announced at Google I/O this week, including a major update to Google Maps, a Google product that’s familiar to almost everyone, and used by many on a daily basis. Most of the news coverage has revolved around visual, social or privacy aspects of the Maps experience, but I want [...]Bruce Nourish
- Introducing Busdrone May 17, 2013In the years since OneBusAway took over the realtime arrival market, Busview, the old UW website that provides recent bus locations rather than expected arrival times, has been quietly doing its job, largely forgotten. That may change thanks to Andrew Filer,* a local programmer who (among other things) runs a site that indexes trademarks . [...]Martin H. Duke
- News Roundup: Reviews May 16, 2013Update on the Capitol Hill Station upzone. Lofts in West Seattle go through design review. Aside from the usual parking fear the comments seem constructive. WSB had a 48-minute interview with Metro GM Kevin Desmond. Seattle Weekly reviews bus apps. Brier Dudley reviews Car2Go ($). More evidence that supply and demand works. Doug Macdonald explains [...]Martin H. Duke
- Link Excuse of the Week: Franklin High Arts Festival and My Favorite Building in Seattle May 15, 2013This week Franklin High School, across the street from Mount Baker Station, is holding its annual Arts Festival and Talent Show. Festivities begin with an art opening at 5:30 pm, Thursday, May 16, at Mioposto, 3601 S. McClellan St, a one half mile walk from station. Walk north on Rainier until McClellan, then east. Mioposto is located in my [...]Matthew Johnson
- Coalition Pushing for the House Transportation Bill May 15, 2013As the video indicates, a broad coalition of interest groups, many of which broadly share STB’s ideals, are expressing support for the latest version of the Clibborn package, HB 1954. The conventional wisdom is that these bills will pass the House but run into trouble in the Senate. For transit advocates, this bill is about [...]Martin H. Duke
- RapidRide E and Two-Zone Fares May 14, 2013Of the six RapidRide routes Metro has rolled out, or soon will roll out, only one will have more than one adult fare: RapidRide E, an improved version of today’s Route 358, which connects downtown Seattle and Shoreline via Aurora Avenue. Metro’s fare system has two zones, with Zone 1 the city of Seattle, and [...]Bruce Nourish
- Open House and Public Comment on Potential Metro Cuts May 14, 2013A Martin mentioned last week, at 3:30 PM today King County Metro will host an open house on the extensive service cuts that could come if the legislature fails to provide a sustainable local revenue source for the agency; this will be followed by a public testimony to King County’s Transportation, Economy and Environment Committee [...]Bruce Nourish
- Upcoming East Link Final Design Open Houses May 13, 2013Now that Sound Transit has cleared the hurdle of finalizing the entire East Link alignment, the next step is chugging through final design of the project. There will be an open house for the downtown Bellevue segment this Thursday, May 16th from 5 to 7pm at Bellevue City Hall, and another for South Bellevue on [...]Sherwin Lee
- Ed Murray on Transportation May 13, 2013After a series of comments that challenged the STB consensus on various Sound Transit-related issues, I asked Sen. Murray to explain his positions in more detail. In the email exchange reproduced below, Sen. Murray says he doesn’t support governance reform anymore, expresses his support for ST3, and explains why he thinks Seattle would do better [...]Martin H. Duke
- Sunday Open Thread: No Traffic Lights May 12, 2013More on this English experiment here.Martin H. Duke
- Transfers and Grids May 11, 2013In the comments to my last post on transfers, a few people referenced Jarrett Walker’s excellent post on Seattle’s prospects for carbon neutrality, which discusses Seattle’s geographic “chokepoints” such as lakes and cliffs. Some commenters argued that these chokepoints make a gridded bus network impossible, but I don’t think that’s right. Walker’s point i […]Frank Chiachiere
- February 2013 ST Ridership Report and March Link Numbers May 10, 2013A few weeks back ST released their corrected February 2013 ridership report (an Excel error threw off Sounder numbers in the earlier version) and once again the system had healthy year-on-year gains for most services. February’s Central Link Weekday/Saturday/Sunday boardings were 25,370/18,015/12,934, increases of 14.4%, 21.0%, and 12.2% respectively over Fe […]Matthew Johnson
- Councilmember Burgess Delays Transit Infastructure Projects…. Again May 9, 2013For those who couldn’t attend last Wednesday’s Government Performance and Finance Committee meeting, you didn’t miss much. Some time between printing the official agenda and starting the meeting Councilmember Burgess pushed back the Ship Canal Crossing Study and University District to SLU Study to the May 15th meeting. In an earlier post we mentioned some [. […]Matthew Johnson
- News Roundup: Secession May 9, 2013Unhappy cities consider severing ties with Pierce Transit Transit quality vs. income in San Francisco. I think a lot of readers are confusing the increase in developer height fees in South Lake Union and the lower absolute limit on heights along the lakeshore. This Sharon Lee column explains the two items well, and points out [...]Martin H. Duke
- Federal Sales Tax Law Would Help Local Transit May 8, 2013PubliCola beat me to this point by a couple of days, but the internet sales tax bill making its way through Congress — it just passed the filibuster-happy Senate 69-27 , with your two Senators voting yes — has large implications for any local agency that largely funds itself with sales tax, which of course [...]Martin H. Duke
- A New Sounder Station Outside Downtown Puyallup? May 8, 2013One of the stranger proposals that came out of last month’s joint meetings between Sound Transit and Puyallup was the idea of a new “transit station” on Shaw Road, just less than two miles east of downtown. Although I’m still trying to figure out what “transit station” actually means, it sounds like Puyallup officials are [...]Sherwin Lee
- News from the Mayoral Debate May 7, 2013PubliCola’s detailed, insightful writeup of last week’s Mayoral forum is worth your time if you’re interested in this race. A few transportation-related answers stood out: Q: Do you support tolling on I-90? Yes: Burgess, Martin, Murray, and Steinbrueck No: Harrell and Staadecker. Maybe: McGinn. McGinn’s equivocation here is less surprising than it seems. Mc […]Martin H. Duke
- Metro Adding Basic Facilities at Bus Stops May 7, 2013Over the last few months, I’ve been on a tear of complaining, both directly to Metro and on the blog, about substandard Metro facilities, perhaps originally motivated by the number of them on Metro’s Route 40, which is one of my new neighborhood’s core bus routes. I’ve had some success with this, but I’m sure [...]Bruce Nourish
