March 2016 Service Change Package B

November 25, 2015 TO: March 2016 Service Change - Service Package Recipients FROM: Jon Bez, Acting Supervisor, Service Planning, King County Metro SUBJECT: Transmittal of March 2016 Service Change Package “B” Attached is Package “B” for the March 2016 Service Change period that begins on Saturday, March 26, 2016. Package “B” contains a variety of different items, ranging from routing revisions and layover changes to trip additions. One of the more significant service changes is the splitting of Route 8 into two segments. The north half will operate as Route 8 between Queen Anne and the Mt. Baker link station, and the south half will operate as the new Route 38 between Mt. Baker and Rainier Beach. This change is another big piece of the U Link service restructure that was approved by our County Council last month. Another noteworthy item in the package is the PM routing revision for Routes 63, 64 and 309 between First Hill and South Lake Union. These are designed to improve the speed and reliability of those routes.

Also included in the package are several Sound Transit items, including the launch of the new Route 541, providing peak service between the Overlake Park and Ride and the University District. There are also trip additions to the popular Route 554.

For your convenience, a summary of Package “B” items are included in the attached matrix. Please note that this matrix also includes a key for determining whether a package item contains any special suggestions relating to service implementation. If you have questions regarding a specific item, please contact the service planner identified on the package item or Jeff Lee at [email protected].

Route: 5 Prepared by: Doug Johnson District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5837 Action

The layover for Route 5 trips starting/ending in SODO & not interlined with Route 21, will shift from the SODO Busway nearside of S Holgate St to 6th Ave S nearside S Royal Brougham (northbound).

Objectives

Manage layover space in the vicinity of Central Base. Background

As part of the ongoing management of layover space in the vicinity of Central Base, the terminal for Route 5 will shift from the SODO Busway nearside of S Holgate St to 6th Ave S nearside S Royal Brougham (northbound).

Route: 8 Prepared by: Ted Day District: North Seattle Phone: 477-5826 Action

Split route into two segments at Mount Baker Transit Center. The north portion between Seattle Center and Mount Baker will retain the Route 8 number, while the south protion between Mount Baker and Rainier Beach will be called Route 38 (see Route 38 package item for more information). Increase frequencies on weekdays (see SERVICE LEVELS section for more details) SERVICE DESIGN: -- Route 8 will now only travel between the Seattle Center and the Mount Baker Transit Center. -- Due to layover capacity constraints at Mount Baker Transit Center, please limit the number of coaches laying over to no more than two coaches simultaneously. -- It is assumed that most trips on Route 8 will operate with artics.

Objectives

-- Improve reliability by spliting route into two segments -- Improve ridership by improving frequency -- Provide frequent service on the John/Thomas/Madison corridor between MLK Jr Wy and Bellevue Ave -- Provide convenient transfers to and from Link Light Rail at Capitol Hill Station. -- Provide convenient transfers to and from Route 48 at 23rd Avenue.

Background

Route 8 has trouble staying on-time and keeping even spacing between trips. By splitting the route in two segments, both Routes 8 and new Route 38 should become more reliable. With the University Link Light Rail extension, Route 43 is being cancelled to reduced duplication with Link and other bus routes. Therefore, the remaining services are being improved to maintain frequent connections between Montlake and Capitol Hill for Route 43 riders who cannot use Link Light Rail. Ridership on Route 8 is strong and growing, so improved frequency will benefit all riders between Mount Baker and Seattle Center. The city of Seattle is funding the improvement in weekday frequency from 15-minutes to 12-minutes.

Route 8 will serve Bay 2 at Mount Baker in both directions (just like Route 48). Transit Route Facilities will be working with SDOT to improve the bus stops in the vicinity of the critical transfer points of John St/Madison St/23rd Ave (to/from Route 48). Additionally, bus stops around the Capitol Hill Station will be reconfigured and improved. LAYOVER ZONES AND FIRST LAST STOP:

Layover Impact

Route 8 will now take layover at the Mount Baker Transit Center. Due to capacity constraints at Mount Baker, we will attempt to limit the number of coaches laying over at Mount Baker to two at any one time. It is assumed that Route 8 will use Layover Area B. Overflow layover is available on the south roadway if both spots in Area B are full. There is no proposed change to the layover scheme at the Seattle Center end of the route.

--Clarify the 3rd Avenue stop pattern for Route 62. Route 62 should mimic the stop pattern of current Route 16. (See Facilities section for details). --Operate AM Peak inbound frequency at 10 minutes instead of 7-8 minutes in order to save coaches and operating budget.

Objectives

--Group routes heading to similar destinations at the same stops in downtown Seattle. -- Reduce the number of coaches in operation during the AM Peak.

Background

-- With the exception of the E Line, all routes heading across the Fremont and Aurora Bridges are grouped together in downtown Seattle so as to give riders heading to the same general area a single stop pattern to wait. -- Metro is getting very close to the limit on the number of coaches in operation in the peak periods, therefore a more conservative frequency is being provided in the AM Peak in order to save on coaches. -- There are community concerns in the Tangletown area about the increased number of buses along certain street segments, so reducing AM Peak volumes should help respond to their concerns.

Revise afternoon routing between First Hill and South Lake Union. Routes 63 and 64 would use 8th Avenue between Seneca Street and Virginia Street instead of Boren Ave.

Objectives

-- Improve speed and reliabililty -- Improve access to the north end of downtown Seattle

Background

Boren Avenue northbound in the afternoon is very congested with cars heading to the I-5 ramps at Olive Way and Howell Street. Therefore, this new routing will allow these routes to skirt around this congestion, while also providing better access to jobs in the north end of downtown Seattle.

Route: 101, 102, 167, 169 Prepared by: Doug Johnson District: South King County Phone: 477-5837 Action

At the South Renton P&R, the routing for service operating from the P&R to northbound Rainier Ave S (Routes 101, 102, 167 and 169) will be revised to operate via Shattuck Ave S (northbound) and S 7th St.

Objectives

Operate a faster and more direct routing. Background

As part of transit priority improvements in the Renton area, focused on the corridor served by Route 101, the City of Renton is installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of Shattuck Ave S and S 7th St, at the NE corner of the S Renton P & R. This will allow service to follow a more direct routing from the P&R to northbound Rainier Ave S (Routes 101, 102, 167 and 169) via Shattuck Ave S and S 7th St, instead of the longer routing via S Grady Way.

Impact Area

Route: 166, 180, 631 Prepared by: Doug Johnson District: South King County Phone: 477-5837 Action

Shift the designated terminal at the Burien Transit Center for Routes 166 and 180 from the layover area (lane 3) to Bay 1. Shift the designated terminal for Route 631 (and Access) at the Burien Transit Center from Bay 1 to Bay 2. Note: these changes have already been implemented via a Service Quality reroute (early November).

Objectives

Manage the overall use of layover space at the Burien Transit Center. Background

There is limited layover space at the Burien Transit Center, particularly during the weekday AM peak period. Shifting Routes 166 and 180 to terminate at Bay 2, in conjunction with the relocation of Route 631 and Access to Bay 2, will redistribute vehicles more efficiently among these bays and the layover lanes.

Impact Area

Burien Transit Center Impact on ADA Service


Bay 1 (#52301) and Bay 2 (52303) would both function as drop-off/layover zones and would not display any route numbers. As Bay 2 would also be used by Access, this should be indicated on the signage.

Layover Impact

The layover for Routes 166 and 180 would shift from the layover area (Lane 3) to Bay 1 (#52301), which would serve as a drop-off/layover. The drop-off/layover for Route 631 would shift to from Bay 1 to Bay 2 (#52302), which would serve as the drop-off layover for the 631. Bay 2 would also be the designated location for any Access vehicles serving the Burien Transit Center.



This is a minor routing change primarily involving revising layover use at the Burien Transit Center and should not require any public notification.
