NKC bus service

Post by flyingember »

Has anyone else noticed the transit light when going SB on Burlington at 10th Ave in NKC?

I wonder why it's not used any more?

The shoulders where people park now have buses only written on them in some random places. I think burlington used to have a dedicated lane for buses? That since is long gone.

They did this as a temporary measure when I-29/35 was closed for several months during the bridge work. I haven't seen it used since the bridge re-opened, probably not enough traffic to require it.

That's correct. I thought it might be used again when the Broadway Extension was shut down, but was told the traffic counts probably wouldn't (and apparently didn't) require it.

everyone took I-35 this time and made it into a 30mph road. I don't even bother to get on I-35 at the loop since it's backed up to Broadway at 4:30.

the HOA bridge backs up all the way to I-35 some days at 4:30

there's a lot more traffic on 6th, at 3rd and Grand and at the Front St and I-35 intersections than normal at 4:30

yeah, they didn't think it would be as bad as it got. I'm glad I'm not downtown an hour later.
