INTRODUCTION <br /> Transit Services <br /> Transit service is an important consideration in streetscape planning because we need to <br /> provide room for bus stops and amenities for pedestrian comfort. Also, streets with high bus <br /> volumes should feature trees with higher limbs and curb bulbs with larger radii in order to <br /> facilitate bus movement. <br /> Transit service to downtown Everett is provided by Everett Transit, Community Transit, and <br /> Sound Transit. Bus routes were significantly revised to service the Everett Multi-Modal Center <br /> on Smith Street south of Pacific Avenue with connections to Sounder Commuter Rail, Amtrak, <br /> and other public transportation services. Nevertheless, bus routes were maintained through the <br /> downtown core to provide direct and frequent transit service to downtown employees and <br /> residents. <br /> The 2006 Everett Downtown Plan recommends the consideration of extending bus service <br /> westward along Hewitt Avenue to Rucker Avenue and then south on Rucker Avenue to Pacific <br /> Avenue. Street improvement recommendations take this into account by calling for narrow or <br /> high-limbed street trees and pedestrian amenities. <br /> -1- [ <br /> -11 <br /> i'l <br /> --- -- -� . _._ . ,.
