Metro Connects
The Service Network
Figure 12, Figure 13, and Figure 14 show the 2019 RapidRide network, the Metro Connects interim proposed RapidRide network, and the Metro Connects 2050 RapidRide network. The City of Seattle and Burien are partnering with Metro on the development of the H Line corridor that will benefit transit riders and the community. Seattle is investing in safer and easier access to stations, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, streetscape features and stormwater management upgrades to stimulate economic development, business access and transit (BAT) lanes to keep buses moving, as well as contributing funding to increase H Line frequency in off-peak direction (to match peak-direction frequency levels). Burien has secured a state grant that will fund Metro’s implementation of speed and reliability upgrades, access to transit improvements, communications and technology enhancements, as well as RapidRide station construction throughout the H Line corridor in that jurisdiction.
