"SECTION 2. Consistent with the King County Metro Service Guidelines, Metro
considers as part of its network planning locations where transfer opportunities could be
provided and where provision of convenient transfers could improve the efficiency of the
network. Metro strives to make transfers convenient, safe and accessible, and to work
with partners to provide safe environments for pedestrians in a manner consistent with
the goals of the City of Seattle Vision Zero Safer Streets for Seattle initiative. In order to
help facilitate connections in locations where passenger transfers are expected to increase
due to the proposed changes, the executive is directed to work with Sound Transit, the
University of Washington and the city of Seattle to improve the transfer environment in
such locations. Locations where transfers are expected to increase as a result of the
proposed changes include, but are not limited to NE Northgate Way and Roosevelt Way
NE, Roosevelt Way NE and NE 65th Street, NE Ravenna Boulevard and NE 65th Street,
25th Avenue NE and NE 65th Street, NE Campus Parkway and University Way NE, 19th
Avenue E and E Madison Street, 23rd Avenue E and E Madison Street, and near the new
Capitol Hill and University of Washington light rail stations, including each of the bus
stops planned near the University of Washington light rail station. A number of transfer
locations are shown in Attachment B to this ordinance, Key Transfer Locations map.
Amenities or treatments that would improve the transfer environment include, but are not
limited to, shelters, lighting, benches, trash receptacles, wayfinding signage, digital
signboards, customer information, crosswalks and changes to signalization.
The executive shall submit to the council a work plan describing specific
improvements planned for each of these transfer areas and a timeline for implementation
that shall include plans to be implemented by March 2016, as well as plans to be

implemented during the course of 2016 and plans to be implemented between 2017 and
2020. The work plan shall identify the responsible party and funding source for each
planned improvement and shall include any legislation needed to implement the
improvements. These improvements shall be implemented as expeditiously as possible to
help achieve the objectives of safe and accessible transfer environments. When
transmitted to the council, the work plan shall be accompanied by a motion to approve
the work plan. The executive shall transmit the work plan and motion by January 29,
2016, in the form of a paper original and an electronic copy with the clerk of the council,
who shall retain the original and provide an electronic copy to all councilmembers, the
council chief of staff, the policy staff director and the lead staff for the transportation,
economy and environment committee, or its successor.
SECTION 3. A. To ensure successful implementation of and the highest possible

focused on customer education and assistance to help riders identify new travel options
using the restructured Metro bus network, the Central Link Light Rail, and Sound Transit
Express bus routes.

Strategic Plan Strategy 3.1.1: Through investments and partnerships with regional organizations, local jurisdictions and the private sector, provide alternatives to driving alone.
Strategic Plan Strategy 3.2.1: Expand services to accommodate the region's growing population and serve new transit markets.
Strategic Plan Strategy 3.2.2: Coordinate and develop services and facilities with other providers to create an integrated and efficient regional transportation system.
Strategic Plan Strategy 3.4.1: Serve centers and other areas of concentrated activity, consistent with Transportation 2040.
Strategic Plan Strategy 5.1.1: Provide service that is easy to understand and use.
Strategic Plan Strategy 6.1.1: Manage the transit system through service guidelines and performance measures.
o Service Design Guideline – Routes should be designed in the context of the entire transportation system.
o Service Design Guideline – A route that operates directly between two locations is faster and more attractive to riders than one that takes a long, circuitous path.
o Service Design Guideline –Routes should serve connection points where riders can connect to frequent services, opening up the widest possible range of travel options.
o Service Design Guideline – Routes are more efficient when designed to serve multiple purposes and destinations rather than specialized travel demands.

EFFECT: Adds sections requiring the executive to report on (1) a joint King
County-Sound Transit-Seattle work plan to improve locations where transfers are
expected to increase, (2) a joint public engagement campaign to inform the public

of before and after ridership and customer attitudes on Metro bus routes,
coordinated with Sound Transit evaluation of Link Light Rail impacts with reports
in 2017 and 2019. Also adds a section prohibiting a new bus stop on Montlake at
Hec Edmundson until the Executive has provided and the Council has approved a
study of traffic impacts of such a stop.
