As we wrote earlier this week, SDOT and King County Metro are hosting an open house to let the public know, and ask questions, about the proposed changes to Market Street to make Route 44 more reliable.
This is an open house format from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Ballard Swedish Medical Center (5300 Tallman Ave NW), Conference Room A. Stop in at any point, this is not a structured meeting with a presentation. There will be representatives from both agencies on hand to answer questions, as well as displays to show the proposed changes.

I stopped by – looks like it makes a lot of sense. All I can say is, Metro had best not try to replace these electric buses with anything that burns fuel! Glad sdot, at least, is trying to make it work better.
