Proposed Reserved Bus Lane Southbound Hespeler Road at the Delta
"The Region’s Transit Supportive Strategy (TSS) for Cambridge Working Group identified a quick-win that could shed up to 60 seconds off travel times for southbound Route 51 and 200 iXpress buses during peak traffic times, by creating a dedicated GRT bus lane leading up to the Delta Station along Hespeler Road. The proposal consists of converting the southbound painted shoulder over the grade separation to a bus-only lane, and allowing buses to use the right-turn lanes at Jaffray Street and at Coronation Boulevard. Appendix A provides a location map of the proposed initiative. Transit delay data suggests that this new bus-only lane would speed up service times by up to 60 seconds in afternoon peak periods, and would benefit approximately 1,150 passengers per day. The cost estimate for pavement markings and signage to convert the existing painted shoulder to a dedicated bus-only lane is $5,000."

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
