9/28: Route 11 Updates

Beginning on Sunday, September 28, Mountain Line’s Route 11 will run along an updated route, traveling inbound along Mary Jane Boulevard to avoid frequent congestion on Reserve Street.

Route 11 will also change its path in both directions to serve existing stops along Palmer Street instead of on American Way and Latimer. Route 2 will continue serving stops on American and Latimer normally.

The inbound stop at England and Tina will be closed, while two new stops (Mary Jane at Canterbury and England at Pleasant View Park) will be indicated by temporary signs until a permanent, accessible stop is installed in 2026. The outbound England and Tina stop will remain in service. (Please note that both stops on England are closed for construction as of September 15, but the outbound stop will return to regular service once construction allows.)

With existing routing, Route 11 frequently encounters significant delays due to traffic congestion. This new route is designed to improve on-time performance, increase service to residential areas and near Hellgate Elementary, and continue serving high-ridership stops to enable passengers to transfer reliably to other transit lines.

Stop locations are selected for proximity to pedestrian paths and likely destinations (like parks and schools), residential accessibility, right of way, and to maintain even spacing with adjacent stops along the route.
