Routes 2 and 3 will be running with detours during construction of the roundabout at Scott Street and Phillips, expected to begin July 7.
While the Scott & Phillips intersection is closed, Route 3 will follow most of its outbound route back to downtown, as shown in the map below. (There will be marked temporary stops along this inbound route.)
To get from the Northside to Lowell School or destinations along Spruce Street, take Route 3 to Downtown, then transfer to Route 2, running every 15 minutes on weekdays. When possible, it’s advisable to let your driver you plan to transfer so they can radio ahead and make sure the connecting bus driver knows to expect transferring passengers.
Please keep in mind that Route 1 turns into Route 2 at the Transfer Center (and vice versa), so the head sign of the correct incoming bus will say Route 1 before it switches over, while the bus that says Route 2 as it’s pulling in will turn into Route 1 and go to the university. (Route 2 departs the Woody Street temporary transfer center from the east side of the street, facing north to Spruce.)
Route 2 will also be running with a minor detour, missing the Westside Park and inbound Lowell Elementary stops but making temporary stops on Scott Street between Cooper and Sherwood.
