A massive pile of snow-laden branches knocked down both the north and south extensions of Metro bus cables last night near the 1200 block of 15th Ave E. As a result, Metro is currently not running the #10 bus east of Broadway. Keep track of status on the Metro adverse weather page.

Clearly, the mayor wasn’t prepared for a tree falling…
I feel sorry for the branch-draped Prius that was parked under the tree.
The 10 is still not running down Pine this morning, and yet on the adverse weather page, that route isn’t listed among those affected by the weather, nor is that information found on the service announcement/reroute page. Brilliant.
Is it pretty normal toward downtown? Advice appreciated! Thanks!
15th just opened up along the park, but I haven’t seen any buses yet. (11:30 a.m.)
I saw 43s and 48s on Madison. A little off schedule but definitely running.
This post saved me a long wait for the 10 (which as Audrey pointed out, METRO claimed was running) and might have saved me from missing a flight!
Neighbor Wimsey sent in this note and picture of a tree that broke near 18th and John.
“The attached photo is of branches that just fell from a wonderful old tree at 18th Ave. E and E John – effectively closing E John. This tree lost several branches in the storms last month, am so sorry to see these fall, too. Good thing they didn’t hit any power lines.”
Indeed, the Prius is a tad messed up I’m afraid. It doesn’t look like the owner has tended to it yet, either. Picture from about 1PM today:
