RE: Grand River Transit - timio - 07-19-2016 The conduits are embedded in the concrete for shelters at Highland/Fischer Hallman, but still no sign of shelters. The stops at Westheights/Westforest/Eastforest are temporary until road reconstruction on Highland in a few years. RE: Grand River Transit - Pheidippides - 08-03-2016 Is there a reason the #8 Fairview via Weber is taking Victoria/Weber/Water/Joseph/Gaukel instead of sticking closer to its route on Margaret/Queen/Joseph/Gaukel? Turning radius perhaps? RE: Grand River Transit - Markster - 08-03-2016 The intersection of King/Queen on Queen is too difficult to navigate for the buses. It's one of the many no-go zones downtown.

It's one of the many no-go zones downtown. Thanks. I figured it was something like that. It still seems strange that the buses couldn't handle the little jog in Queen going straight through King. RE: Grand River Transit - Canard - 08-04-2016 It is likely that the clearance envelope of the bus encroaches on the adjacent lane too much when navigating the S-bend.

RE: Grand River Transit - Markster - 08-05-2016 Try to imagine two buses passing each other as they navigate the S-bend. It would not be an easy maneuver. RE: Grand River Transit - Pheidippides - 08-05-2016 GRT Business Plan 2017-2021 Interim Report is now posted in the planning and works agenda for Tuesday's meeting: http://www.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/regionalGovernment/resources/PW/PA2016-0809.pdf#page=34 Includes a draft 2021 transit network map. RE: Grand River Transit - Waterlooer - 08-05-2016 I'm loving the proposed 10 minute peak frequency on the 201 and 202 for Fall 2017. RE: Grand River Transit - chutten - 08-05-2016 I'm not liking the short-turn of the 92 at UW. It was the only local service along Fischer-Hallman that could connect with ION.

RE: Grand River Transit - D40LF - 08-05-2016 I can't say Im the least bit fond of the proposed Belmont -Margaret and Laurentian West - Country Hills routes, which they will inevitably run in one direction off peak or something... RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 08-05-2016 Some very clever stuff here, like having the 2 extend past Borden station then replace the Franklin loop of the 8, and the loops that D40LF mentioned (I do not share his fears of one-way operation). Country Hills will be losing a bit of local service (Wilderness where the 22 runs now, Williamsburg and Dunsmere for the 3); but that's what the community consultations are for.

Is the 4 supposed to run between The Boardwalk and Grand River Hospital, and a separate service run Belmont-Union-Margaret? If so, I agree that the latter will inevitably have pretty poor frequency, and not a lot of utility for many people. I guess there's a lot of argument for Belmont having a service, but a 4 service going all the way down Union (or Guelph or Wellington or whatever) would probably be more useful for Breithaupt Park than what this 'Belmont-Margaret' service likely will be. |
