Good insights here, Gordon. Thanks for dive in.

I’ll follow up the story at some point and we’ll talk.

Thanks Kirk, story could’ve been better for sure. Still, the premise of the story is in the first line. That bus riders will like and benefit from the change is a given. Will it increase congestion for cars? Probably, and that’s what the biz orgs are complaining about.

We are seeing traffic building more, especially before the closure points on I-405, & along detour routes in Kirkland & Renton.

-3 mile backup on NB I-405 in Renton
-1.5 mile backup on SB I-405 in Kirkland

Expect very heavy traffic on detour routes & city streets. Plan ahead!

Thanks Nick. I’ll take a look and talk to the mapmaker.
