Transit Alert – Bus ramp deployment at the SR 520 Evergreen & Yarrow Point Freeway Station platform stops is not available for some routes

Beginning immediately, and until further notice, the eastbound and westbound platform stops located on SR-520, at Evergreen and Yarrow Point freeway stations, are not available on some routes for riders requiring bus ramp or lift deployment.  This limited accessibility is due to the inability of some coach types to safely deploy the ramp or lift at these platforms.

Metro routes 255, 257, 268, 311, 982 and 986, operating coach numbers 8100 through 8199, are affected.

Metro Route 167 and Sound Transit Express routes 542 and 545 are not affected and can deploy the ramp or lift at these stops.

For alternative ramp or lift service, please board or exit affected routes at one of these bus stops:               

• Routes 255 & 986 to Kirkland, the University District or Haller Lake: east of these stations at the South Kirkland Park and Ride.
• Route 257 to Kingsgate or downtown Seattle: east and north of these stations at NE 128th St and 116th Av NE.
• Routes 268 to Bear Creek or downtown Seattle: east of these stations at SR 520 and NE 40th St.
• Roue 311 to Woodinville or downtown Seattle: east and north of these stations at the Totem Lake Freeway Station.
