Lower Queen Anne Couplet: North of Denny, rail would operate in a 1st Avenue: 1st Avenue has sufficient curb-to-curb width to accommo- couplet formation and could operate in mixed traffic or dedicated lanes. date 5 lanes. This would allow a center median dedicated or shared lane Multiple options are available for a turnaround/terminus. operation. Center-running rail and center platform stations would benefit traffic circulation on the downtown 1-way street grid all the way from Rail Cherry to Denny. Stations are proposed at somewhat frequent inter- vals in the downtown core because this portion of the transit line could double as a ‘waterfront circulator’ in addition to being a high-capacity connection between Lower Queen Anne and Pioneer Square. Interlin- ing/connecting the 1st Avenue line with the First Hill line at Jackson/Oc- cidental would provide expanded circulation options.
