King County Metro Transit is proposing changes to bus service along Rainier Avenue and Broadway that would go into effect in September 2004. Input from the public is currently being sought on all the proposed changes, and the deadline for all comments is Thursday, Feb. 12.

Changes are being considered that involve routes 7, 9, 39, 60 and 124 along the Rainier Valley, Seward Park, North Beacon Hill, First Hill, and Capitol Hill's Broadway district. These changes would adjust bus routes to provide more reliable and efficient service, and to respond to passenger requests for service changes.
