Title: Ideas for WRTA Northside bus routes
Post by: mrniles266 on May 22, 2011, 01:21:52 AM
 ??? What do you think of my idea for improving WRTA bus routes on the Northside?

Belmont is the main big bus line for the Northside. It should be the main connection with other routes for easy Transfer. It should continue at Federal Station,  as the Market (as was done some years ago), through to the Southern Park Mall.

Elm,Logan,Brier Hill (New name, Old Mosier),Fifth, should be converted to small bus circulators.

Elm is used with Logan. Pattern example is: Outbound Elm to Liberty Plaza - Walmart, serving YSU on Wick. It becomes inbound Logan, serving Logan and Andrews Ave. businesses.

Brier Hill is the new name for Mosier. (It doesn't mean anything now). Brier Hill is a historic area the route covers. Calvin and Victoria are main streets especially at festival time. Use of the small buses, makes it easier to cover neighborhood streets, not possible with the big, noisy buses. Many possible routings.
