susandennisTwitter just told me that I'm getting a bus stop!!! This is huge.
When I moved here in the early 90's there was a bus stop on the corner. I used it all the time. And then they took it away. There was still one two blocks away. And then they took that one away. Then they put one a block and a half away. And then removed it. A couple of years ago, they put one across the street. You can guess what happened to that one. King County Metro fucking hates me.
Until now. New bus stop - with big announcement (which the other stops never got) coming 2 blocks away. NOT ONLY THAT but it will have a bunch of great routes. Routes to the center of town, north of downtown and all kinds of other places. But... I am burying the lead.
The new bus stop has a Rapid Ride bus (one stops every 10-15 mins) that goes right to my pool!!!!
By car, when the bridge is open, it takes me 11 minutes. By car now that the bridge is closed for repair, it takes me from 45-60 in heavy stop and go traffic. BUT there's a backup bridge that buses can use so door to door, even if I miss the bus and have to wait for the next one, will take max 30 mins.
I'm so excited I cannot stand it. I might go Saturday but I will absolutely be there at 8 am on Sunday when the pool doors open. Just like in the olden days!! I need to get out my swim music player and charge it up and get my swim bag ready to go.
The bridge is supposed to be finished this summer but of course, supply chain issues and union problems and a-million-other-lamo-reasons will delay it. I've been trying not to think about it.
But now... fuck the bridge. CANNONBALL!
