King County Metro proposes reliability and safety improvements for Routes 21 and 50

King County Metro is working with the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) to make bus stop improvements in different Seattle neighborhoods. Metro has identified that bus service for Routes 21 and 50 can become more reliable and safer by making improvements at three locations along First Avenue South in the SODO area.

According to analysis and transit operator feedback, buses face safety challenges and travel time delays when merging back into traffic from bus stops near South Lander and Hanford streets. This summer from July 11 through Aug. 8, Metro will inform nearby businesses and property owners about early concept designs that will provide improved or relocated bus shelters, improved lighting, and wider sidewalks that will allow buses to stay in-lane while riders board and exit. During this time Metro wants to receive any feedback, questions, or concerns about the proposed design concepts.

Metro and SDOT will work together on the design and construction phases for each proposed location of this project. Preliminarily, design work and public outreach are planned in 2025, construction in 2026 and project completion in 2027.

Learn about the project on the Metro Matters blog [ [link removed] ]. 

For questions or feedback about the project, please contact us at [email protected] or 206-263-9768.
