King County Metro Transit is planning changes for its busy Route 120 that connects Burien to downtown Seattle, and would like feedback from bus riders.

With more than 7,000 boardings a day, the Route 120 is one of Metro’s 10 busiest bus routes. Metro has received a state grant to improve the speed and reliability of the route, and has several changes planned that will be rolled out in coordination with the cities of Burien. They include:

• Reduce the number of closely spaced bus stops to help buses move faster and operate on a more reliable schedule;

• Improve features at bus stops, such as installing new shelters and benches;

• Add a northbound bus lane and bike lanes on Delridge Way Southwest;

• Install a “bus bulb” sidewalk extension for faster boarding at 26th Avenue Southwest and Southwest Barton Street; and

• Install transit signal priority at many traffic signals between the Burien Transit Center and the West Seattle Bridge.
The open house will be held:

Tuesday, April 24 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Youngstown Cultural Arts Center
4408 Delridge Way SW, Seattle
