504 King streetcar riders might get better service. We're hopeful.

The City Planning department has announced more details of its King Street Pilot project.

King Street is an area of high population density and activity; it should have exceptional transit service. We constantly hear from riders that the 504 King is terrible, due to the crowding for people lucky enough to get on, or the being left at the curb for those who are not.

According to area resident Rob Zaichkowski, "The 504 King service is terrible with so many delays that it is faster to travel on King by bicycle, regardless of weather. We deserve better!"

The intention of City Planning to make an important change looks like a very positive step. We will be watching to see if these changes are sufficient to allow the 504 to perform to its potential.
