Effective Monday, June 14^th, Yakima Transit is revising Route 4 to serve Chuck Austin Place, 1703 Tahoma Avenue, a new housing development and service hub for veterans.

Instead of turning on to Mead Avenue from 16^th Avenue, Route 4 will continue down 16^th Avenue and turn on Washington Avenue. Route 4 will then turn on to 12^th Avenue before continuing on Mead Avenue.

This change will add one minute to Yakima Transit stop 9 on Route 4 at Mead Avenue and 3^rd Avenue. All other stops on Route 4 will remain the same. Route 3 is unaffected by this change.

A project of the Yakima Housing Authority, Chuck Austin Place will provide apartments, as well as medical, dental, behavioral and health services. It is located at the former Marine Corps Reserve armory. Work in transforming the armory into Chuck Austin Place is expected to wrap up in July.

It is named for Chuck Austin, a veteran of World War II, Korea and Vietnam wars. He died in January of this year.
