King County Metro Rapid Ride Coming to Crown Hill
King County’s Ballard-Uptown Rapid Ride Corridor will be located along 15th Ave NW through Ballard and Crown Hill. The RapidRide program was approved by voters in the 2006 Transit Now initiative to provide better, faster, and more convenient bus service. The Ballard-Uptown Rapid Ride Advisory Committee recently recommended routing the corridor along 15th Ave NW rather than 24th Ave NW for the following reasons:
- It’s the most direct route and a straight alignment heading downtown.
- It features a higher degree of safety and lights that accommodate pedestrians.
- Routing RapidRide on 15th Avenue NW keeps 24th Avenue NW safer for bicycles.
- Signal prioritization will allow buses to travel faster.
- Most survey respondents residing in all parts of Ballard selected the 15th Avenue NW option.
- It serves Ballard High School.
- It supports development along the 15th Avenue NW corridor.
