Shoreline Mayor Cindy Ryu on the Radio

KUOW's Phyllis Fletcher produced a radio story yesterday about local real estate developers and government officials working out ideas for regional planning by playing a game called "Reality Check." Shoreline Mayor Cindy Ryu is part of the story. The story aired on 94.9fm KUOW yesterday. Here's the lead and a link to the text and audio...

How do you look at the whole region of Puget Sound, and plan for the future? First you get a big map, and some LEGOs. Then you play a game that real estate developers and government officials have played in cities all over the country. Seattle is the latest to give it a try. It's called "Reality Check." And it happened yesterday (April 30th) at the University of Washington.

Possible changes to Metro bus route #373

Metro is proposing a change to bus route 373. The upshot is that the bus would run down 5th Avenue instead of I-5 between 175th and 145th. There would be only three stops on that leg of the journey. Metro says the change would "improve schedule reliability."

I ride the 373 and I like this idea. I've often wished the bus went down 5th Ave instead of I-5, so that I could get off at the Shoreline library after work, then walk home from there.

What do you think? Your feedback is requested by Ted Day at 206-684-1304 or ted.day@kingcounty.gov by Friday, May 9th.

If you ride the 373, feel free to comment on this post. I'm curious what others think of the idea.
