"By 2024, Sound Transit says it will have fast bus service running along both I-405 and SR-522, servicing communities on the north, south, and east sides of Lake Washington," writes Josh Kelety. These lanes would run 37 miles and eight miles respectively in their own lanes.

The plan still needs to go through a public review process and would likely not go into the construction phase until 2022. "Building a Sound Transit BRT network is part of the $54 billion Sound Transit 3 transportation funding package, which voters passed back in 2016," Kelety reports.
