AATA Bus Boardings relocated starting Aug 4, 2010

Filed under: Construction Notices,busing — Nancy Shore @ 1:44 pm

FYI from the AATA:

Three bus boarding locations at the Blake Transit Center (BTC) will be relocated on Wednesday, August 4 due to the closing of Fifth Avenue around the underground parking lot construction next to the main library.

The Ann Arbor Transportation Authority (TheRide) has announced that Routes 1, 15 and 18 will board passengers along the west side of Fourth Avenue just north of William Street next to the Fourth and William parking structure. Passengers are encouraged to use the crosswalk at William to access these new stops.

According to officials of TheRide, an agreement with the City of Ann Arbor will allow some route buses to access their usual stops in the mall area of the transit center by utilizing a portion of Fifth Avenue going northbound to the BTC mall driveway.

As traffic or project conditions change, additional boarding locations may need to be relocated onto Fourth Avenue. A second phase of this project, and additional relocations, may begin as early as spring 2011.

All routes operated by TheRide will be delayed and/or detoured during the Fifth Avenue construction project.

Beginning August 1, Routes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12B, 13, 17 and 18 heading into downtown Ann Arbor and Routes 17 and 18 leaving the BTC will be placed on detour.

Click here for more information on detours.

Updates on the boarding locations and a list of out-of-service bus stops and nearest stops in service will be available at www.TheRide.org or by calling 734.996.0400.
