The Route 3 detour used during Scott Street construction this summer will remain in place as the new permanent route, connecting the Northside directly to downtown. Temporary stops used during the construction detour will remain in use and eventually be built as permanent route stops.
The elimination of the previous one-way loop route along Scott Street and Spruce will help Northside residents connect more directly to the rest of the transit system, making transfers easier and serving more riders with more convenient service.
Mountain Line’s recent Transit Service Plan proposed two-way travel for Route 3 as a possible improvement, and the construction detour demonstrated that this change would work. Rather than returning to previous routing, then making another change with service updates next summer, Route 3 passengers will be able to continue planning their trips with the adjusted route.
This change will appear as a detour rider alert in Transit and the Bus Tracker until some technical updates are completed early this fall.
