Did you notice something new and bright along Columbia St, headed west past 3rd Ave? The bright red “only bus” markings are one more step toward an eventual 2-Way Transit Corridor.
Seeing Red.
The new vivid coloring underscores rules for lane use in that busy area, helping to keep buses moving through in both the current 1-way configuration, and future 2-way operations.
The team took advantage of dry weather Saturday, October 27, to complete the thermoplastic installation on the northern most lane of Columbia St, between 1st and 3rd avenues. The Columbia St segment between 3rd Ave and Alaskan Way will be rebuilt and converted to 2-way operations, as part of the Waterfront Seattle project.
