Route 46 service to Golden Garden to be increased
As both the Ballard News Tribune and the My Ballard blog report today, route 46 is going to change in September:
Metro Transit service approved a September 2008 transit program that contained only one change inside the City of Seattle, Route 46 would be changed during midday hours to wend its way from Golden Gardens, to Shilshole via Seaview Avenue to 54th and onto Market Street. It then would travel Leary Way and end up making a loop in downtown Fremont and back to Ballard and Golden Gardens.
Seaview folks have complained about a lack of service since a route was eliminated after a massive cut in Metro revenue was brought on by a tax-cutting Initiative 695 by Tim Eyman in 2000.
The Golden Gardens to Fremont route change, adding 1,785 hours of service, will operate generally from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Route 46 now provides peat-period service from Golden Gardens and the University of Washington campus via Ballard and Wallingford.
