Curb parking/loading not shown except where subject to change. Option A Concept What is Changing? • Center City Connector Streetcar • One lane each direction repurposed for transit lane • Same as today • Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel bus routes operate southbound on 2nd Ave • Existing 2-Way protected bike lane is extended north to Denny and south to Jackson (current SDOT project) • Traffic volumes increase 10-15% due to temporary Alaskan Way closure and lane repurposing on 1st Ave • Same as today • Bus trips are longer and less reliable for transit customers on 2nd, 4th, and 5th Avenues • Transit agencies pay more to maintain current service levels • Several key bus stops are overcrowded during the PM peak, affecting pedestrian movements • Light rail reliability improves in Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel • Drivers have longer peak trips due to traffic shifting from Alaskan Way and 1st Avenue and increased bus volumes • Challenging to implement northbound and southbound protected bike lane east of 3rd Ave KEY TAKEAWAYS: OPTION A: BASELINE OR “DO NOTHING” (2019) • Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel bus routes operate northbound on 4th Ave • Traffic volumes increase 10-15% due to temporary Alaskan Way closure and lane repurposing on 1st Ave • Light rail only • Light rail headway same as today • Same as today
