Councilmember Rinck and Advocates Launch Campaign for Better Bus Lanes at 12th and Union

Councilmember Rinck and local advocates initiated a campaign to improve bus lanes at 12th and Union, focusing on enhancing Route 8 and overall transit efficiency in Seattle. The proposal aims to reduce transit times, addressing long-standing concerns from residents regarding delays and service quality. This effort follows a significant policy reversal by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) concerning E Union, highlighting the city's commitment to better public transportation. Advocates argue that efficient transit is essential for the area's growing population and economic vitality. Community members have rallied to support the initiative, emphasizing the importance of reliable transit options.

The campaign seeks to gather support from local residents, urging city officials to prioritize transit improvements. Rinck's leadership in this effort reflects a broader push for sustainable transportation solutions in Seattle. If successful, the changes could lead to more accessible and efficient public transportation for the community.
