Now it’s time to play ball!

The Mariners are opening up the 2007 baseball season this week, and Metro is ready to take you out to the game.

Metro and the Mariners have a fully battery of regular bus routes and special shuttles to and from the stadium.

Beginning with post-game service on Tuesday, April 3, the Mariners and Metro will offer special service to 12 outlying park-and-ride lots for night and weekend games. The fare for special buses is $3 each way. This premium park-and-ride service operates after weeknight games and both before and after weekend games. It is not available for weekday games that begin before 5 p.m.

For regular service to the game, Metro’s convenient online Trip Planner allows you to easily research which routes provide the best connection from your home or office to the ballpark.

Detailed information for all Mariners service is available on the Metro Online website. Or, call (206) 553-3000 (voice) or (206) 684-1739 (TTY)

Roads deals with April (snow) showers

King County Road Services Division

Maintenance crews in Skykomish had to dig out their equipment early Monday morning to respond to snow and ice throughout the area. Crews plowed and sanded the county roads, and will be on standby the rest of the week for whatever weather comes our way.

Meeting notices:

Wednesday & Thursday, April 4-5 – Metro Transit is making plans to extend the electric trolley overhead wire in neighborhoods in the Rainier Valley and Beacon Hill to connect the bus system with stations on the Link light rail line now under construction. Before finalizing the design for the extension, Metro is looking for public comments about these plans, and will host two open houses. The meetings will be held: April 4, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Rainier Community Center, 4600 38th Avenue S., Seattle; and April 5, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the New Holly Gathering Hall, 7054 32nd Avenue S., Seattle.

Thursday, April 5 – The King County Road Services Division will hold two separate public hearings to gather public comments about lowering the speed limits on sections of West Snoqualmie Valley Road Northeast (9 a.m.) west of Duvall and on four streets near Enumclaw (11 a.m.). Both meetings will be held in Room 2A of King Street Center, 201 South Jackson Street, Seattle. Written comments are also being accepted through March 30.
