BURLINGTON, ON

For those who survived phase 1 of the New Street construction project – feel some compassion for the people who live within the phase 2 boundary.

Local traffic has to bob and weave to get through New Street – phase 2 starts on Monday.

Gary Carr, Regional Chair, owes everyone near the New street Guelph Line part of the city at least one car wash. The dust is terrible – progress they say.

Mayor Goldring was once heard to say that New Street is the one he drives along most frequently – hopefully he shares our pain.

Phase 2 of the construction project begins May 9, 2016 affecting detours on Burlington Transit routes: 4, 10, 50, 52, 300, 301 and 302.
Route 4 and the Community Connection Routes: 300, 301 and 302 will not have access to the bus stop on Teen Tour Way during this time.

The New Street construction project is scheduled until September 2016.

During this time, Burlington Transit has had to re-route and provide new schedules for Routes 10, 11 and 20 to allow for connections at the Appleby GO Station.

Route 10 no longer becomes Route 20 at the Appleby GO Station which means a transfer is needed when going between Routes 10 and 20. The new Route 20 schedule has increased to every 15 minutes.
