Burnett Avenue between South Second and South Third Streets is closed this week so crews can make repairs to pedestrian walkways, which has resulted in some new traffic patterns downtown and around the transit center specifically.

The work is expected to be completed by Monday.

The Renton Transit Center is also closed during the repair work. Bus stops have been temporarily relocated along South Second Street and South Third Street.

Buses normally stopping at Bay 1, including the F line to The Landing, the 101, 105, 143 to Black Diamond, 148, 153 and 167 to the U-District, will stop on Third between Burnett and Williams Avenues.

Buses normally stopping at Bay 2, including the 240, 342, 560 to Bellevue, 566 to Overlake, 907 and 908 will stop on Third Street between Williams and Wells Avenues.

Buses normally stopping at Bay 3, including the F line to Burien, the 106, 107, 143 to Seattle, 167 to the Renton Park and Ride and 169 will stop on South Second between Williams and Burnett Avenues.

Buses normally stopping at Bay 4, including the 560 to Westwood Village and the 566 to Auburn, will stop on South Second between Wells and Williams Avenues.

According to Public Works Director Gregg Zimmermann, four of the ornamental pedestrian crosswalks around the Downtown Transit Center have tinted pavers that are deteriorating and have become tripping hazards, requiring maintenance and replacement.

Zimmermann said the after evaluating the best methods to make repairs, the City opted to close Burnett Avenue so crews would not have to worry about buses.

Repairs are expected to be completed over the weekend and the road and Transit Center are scheduled to re-open Monday.
