Aurora Village Transit Center reopens April 13th

The newly renovated Aurora Village Transit Center reopens on Saturday, April 13th with 12 bus bays and new improvements that will make transit connections faster, easier and more convenient. Riders will enjoy improved protection from the weather, more seating, and bicycle racks.

Since 1983, North King County residents have relied upon the Transit Center located on North 200th Street, just east of Aurora Avenue North. It was one of Metro’s first transit centers. It closed in November 2001 for a complete renovation and expansion.

King County Metro Transit routes 302, 317, 341, 342, 358, 370, and 943 will serve the new center, as well as paratransit service, and Community Transit routes 610, 620, 621 and 630. For more information about bus service, check out the Metro Online Web site.

King County worked with the city of Shoreline and Community Transit of Snohomish County to make the transit center a good fit with its neighbors. The project also includes artwork by Stuart Nakamura that is incorporated into several safety features at the transit center.

Once the transit center opens on April 13, the temporary bus stops used during the construction period will be closed.
