The Better Bus Lanes coalition calls for faster buses throughout the city, because fast buses need great transit streets. The campaign will focus on three of the busiest and most critical streets for transit in Seattle:
- Denny Way
- Aurora Avenue
- Rainier Avenue
The Better Bus Lanes Campaign prioritizes three near-term safety and reliability improvements on these streets for riders:
- Two-way bus lanes on Denny Way from Queen Anne Avenue to Stewart St.
- Make the temporary 24/7 bus lanes on Aurora Avenue permanent, expand safe crossings, and move Seattle towards achieving Vision Zero.
- Expand bus reliability progress on Rainier Avenue in anticipation for RapidRide R around Mount Baker Station while promoting safety for all.
