![]() Now it’s not likely that will happen anytime soon. But Roosevelt is only a southbound bike lane, and RapidRide J was set to upgrade the paint bike lane on 11th Ave NE, finally completing the couplet. Since 2016, Roosevelt Way NE has had a protected bike lane between NE 65th Street and the University Bridge, just waiting for the light rail station at Roosevelt. The number of broken promises in the transit component of Seattle’s largest-ever transportation levy continues to grow.īut this is unfortunate news for the hopes of completing a critical bike connection between brand new light rail stations in north Seattle as well. That news comes on the heels of the city giving up entirely on turning 3 current bus routes into RapidRide lines in 2018, and news this year of the route 7’s upgrade being put on hold. Roosevelt BRT will not even reach the Roosevelt light rail station, instead terminating at the U District light rail station. ![]() The recent news that one of the centerpiece transit upgrade projects of the Move Seattle levy, the RapidRide J line- formerly known as Roosevelt BRT- would see its route shortened was another big blow to the transit segment of the levy. ![]()
