As local bus riders know, this switch lasted more than a year.
Our thanks to Mat, who in commenting on an earlier post was the first to note here that the bus service that moved to Roosevelt Way Northeast on Feb. 8, 2010, will return to 15th Avenue Northeast next Saturday.
Service change notices were posted at Roosevelt bus stops today (4/8) – the 73 and 77 will return to 15th starting on April 16.
The reason: the bridge over 15th Avenue Northeast, closed since last May, will now reopen the previous evening, April 15.
Be ready for a little more walking: Metro has cut the number of neighborhood bus stops on 15th Avenue nearly in half.
Route 373, to the University District also moves to 15th Avenue, but Route 68 to the U-District remains on Roosevelt.
