Metro proposing changes to Rapid Ride plan in West Seattle

Feb 01, 2012

Metro asked for public comment last November, on proposed service changes related to the upcoming September launch of the RapidRide C line in West Seattle. King County has taken that feedback and used it as part of a revised service change proposal.

The proposed changes for fall 2012 are as follows:

Proposal

The new RapidRide C Line will connect Westwood Village and downtown Seattle via Fauntleroy, Morgan Junction, and Alaska Junction, replacing Route 54 (current map). Download a map of the C line at the link above.

Link the C Line with the D Line: On Third Avenue, C Line buses will continue as the D line to Uptown, Interbay, and Ballard, and vice versa.
Change from November 2011 suggestion

Keep some peak-hour trips on Route 55 (current map) to downtown Seattle in the morning and to the Admiral District in the afternoon to prevent overcrowding on the C Line.

Reason(s) based on Metro’s Service Guidelines

Take advantage of an investment in service.

SSCC students rally for education funding in Olympia

South Seattle Community College students joined hundreds of other students from around the state at the 2012 Community College Student Legislative Rally in Olympia.

Organized this year by Student Body President Dante Obcena, the effort focuses on urging legislators to continue funding higher education. Obcena, a sophomore at the college said, "The legislature needs to prioritize where they allocate their funding. Education is the future and right now they are about to cut about $250 million in higher education and that will affect a lot of students. This is the session where they are funding education."

The purpose was to share their opinions with local legislators and the governor on topics including tuition, textbooks, and cuts to higher education funding.

"We are meeting with Eileen Cody, Sharon Nelson and Joe Fitzgibbon from our area," Obcena said. The students also met with Leslie Goldstein, the Executive Policy Advisor for Governor Christine Gregoire.

The program from 12 – 1 pm in the Rotunda featured guest speakers including Seattle Community Colleges Board of Trustees member Tom Malone.
