Route 9 & Route 31 Changes – September 1, 2019

Current Routing

Approved Routing

Route 9 changes will serve the intersection of Wonderland and Fanshawe Park Roads and provide two-way service along Limberlost.

Route 9 will no longer be interlined with Route 6 in the evenings and will operate to downtown during all time periods.

Route 31 will be modified to operate along Aldersbrook Road to the Hyde Park Power Centre.  The route will now operate as a stand-alone route, no longer interlined with Route 19 and 32

Service through the Orchard Park neighbourhood will be removed, leaving a small section of the area more than 400m to transit stop.

With changes, there is a loss of transit service on Aldersbrook Road east of Aldersbrook Gate; however, there are only 30 daily riders who currently board or alight in this area and the majority will be within 400 metres of the proposed Route 9 stops.

The elimination of the Route 31/32 interline will remove a direct connection between the Hyde Park Centre/Aldersbrook Road and Kipps Ln/Huron & Highbury. 

Route 32 will be eliminated as of September 1, 2019 with the new Routes 27 and 34 providing service to portions of the former route.
