Earlier, later service proposed for Everett Transit in March
Everett Transit’s going to need more drivers for proposed service changes in March.
The semiannual shift includes major adjustments for five routes, earlier and later hours for several routes, and smaller tweaks on five others. The changes generally improve transfer connections and accessibility, Everett Transit spokesman Ryan Bisson said. If the Everett City Council approves the changes, it means another seven drivers are needed for the city-run transit operations.
Possibly the biggest change will be to Route 18, which connects Everett Station to the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal. Construction to replace the 76-year-old Edgewater Bridge will sever the Mukilteo Boulevard connection between Everett and Mukilteo for a year.
Route 18 instead will use Glenwood Avenue and Merrill Creek Parkway to reach the Seaway Transit Center before taking Highway 526 to the Mukilteo Speedway and reaching the ferry terminal. It also combines with the former Route 70 which linked the ferry terminal to the Boeing campus and will only run five times in the morning and five times in the afternoon, with arrivals and departures tied to the Washington State Ferries schedule.
