The King County Council's Physical Environment Committee and Budget and Fiscal Management Committee are holding a joint hearing on the proposed changes to service in Southeast Seattle next Tuesday, April 28, in the King County Courthouse (516 Third Ave., Room 1101) at 6:30 pm. The changes (described in detail here) involve eliminating and scaling back some routes and expanding service on others to coordinate with light rail when it opens on July 18. The proposals don't address a projected shortfall of $100 million next year, which will only partly be made up by federal stimulus funding.
