The D Line will provide convenient connections to other bus routes at major transfer points, including NW 85th Street, NW Market Street, Leary Way NW, W Prospect Street, Queen Anne Avenue N, and downtown Seattle. Helping buses go fasterIn Seattle, the Bridging the Gap initiative, passed in November 2006, will help fund traffic signal and roadway improvements. These modifications are critical to improving transit travel times and schedule reliability. Public involvementIn 2011, 12-18 months before RapidRide service is scheduled to begin on this corridor, Metro will begin a planning and public outreach process to consider possible changes to bus routes serving Crown Hill, Ballard, Interbay, and Uptown.
