Buses return to the downtown mall

Beginning this Sunday, buses will return to their normal routes along the downtown mall. Transit mall upgrades are now complete to support the new Max Green Line. For about two years now, buses have been shifted over to Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue while construction was taking place. Now, they return to the Fifth and Sixth Avenue pattern.


Big change for motorists though. Right turns on Fifth and Sixth avenues are no longer allowed with one exception, Sixth Ave at Harrison. Plan accordingly or else you will be making three left turns to arrive at your destination.


The new Max line will begin operations in the fall.
