The Roundup: Route 7 or RapidRide? Zahilay Weighs In

King County Executive Girmay Zahilay supports converting Route 7 to RapidRide R, citing improved reliability, frequency, and infrastructure like better lighting and sidewalks. Community feedback has led to adding back some of the proposed 20 consolidated stops. Zahilay is transferring the alignment ordinance to the King County Council for review, and Metro will hold additional community forums and a separate service process for the Prentice Loop area south of Henderson.
