 PROPOSED BUS STATION LOCATIONS
WHY CHANGE BUS WE HEARD METRO ROUTE 120 IS AN
STATION LOCATIONS? IMPORTANT LOCAL CIRCULATOR
• To have frequent and on time buses • Typical RapidRide stations are 0.5 miles apart
• Improve access to stations • Stations on Delridge Way SW will be 0.3 miles
apart on average (a 0.1 mile increase from what
• Improve station comfort
it is today)
• Make it easy to know where to get on
• A 0.1 mile increase between stops is about a
and off buses by having northbound
2-minute walk
and southbound stations

Below are proposed changes, all stations not mentioned are planned to remain.

 DELRIDGE WAY SW AND SW HENDERSON ST
Improving Delridge Way SW from the West Seattle Bridge to SW Roxbury St

GOAL DESIGN CONCEPT

• Faciliate relocation of Delridge/Trenton • Narrow and shift existing southbound slip
zone pair to Henderson by improving lane to the east
pedestrian environment at Henderson/
Barton • Maintain perpendicular geometry between
slip lane and Barton
CHALLENGES • Use expanded curb as large southbound bus
• Existing utilities on island at northwest zone with bicycle parking
corner
• Leverage new development at northeast
• Facilitate large truck movements corner and construct curb bulb for large
• Need enough space for people turning northbound bus zone
right to queue • Provide space for up to two large vehicles
turning right to queue

Issues Concept
Bus Zone
Install bike parking Install curb bulb for
Wide travel lanes (>20’ each)

Extend curb and

reduce size of
existing island
