Engaging with community to guide and design service • During summer of 2019, Metro engaged the community to listen and shape an initial proposal for changes. To shape the proposal, Metro focused on: • Relationship building with historically un(der)served populations in project area • Designing service ideas in partnership with historically un(der)served communities to build a better transit network • Ways to communicate the service proposal and agency goals related to equitable outcomes to affected communities, demonstrating how proposal helps advance equitable mobility outcomes
What we heard during needs assessment phase Key Theme Summary of Proposed Ideas East-west service along several major corridors, including N 80 th St, NE 75 th Improve east-west and crosstown connections St, NE 45 th St, Greenwood to Lake City Service connections should be close together Improve connections at light rail stations, creating hubs around stations for bus-to-bus and bus-to-rail transfers and understandable to customers Improve service to First Hill, U-District on nights and weekends, many shift Improve weekend service and span of service workers around campus and hospitals; access to places of worship & (especially later at night) community centers on weekends Connecting routes to light rail at Northgate and Roosevelt Stations to Travel times that are better and/or more provide faster and more consistent travel times; shortening some routes consistent than they are today to reduce variability of bus travel times Improve connections to hospitals/medical Provide east- west connection to Seattle Children’s Hospital, improve direct facilities (Northgate, UW, First Hill, Seattle service to First Hill Children’s) Improve connection to South Lake Union/job New service to South Lake Union, Northgate job center, connections to Aurora Village centers
