He was specifically happy about the increase in frequency on Route 31, a bus route that runs through the neighborhood. Keith Stanley, executive director of the Near West Side Partners, said roughly one third of Near West Side residents rely on public transit.
Sliker said much of the information was available in English and Spanish. Outreach also includes social media pushes, signage at affected bus stops and targeted outreach to businesses whose employees might take the bus to work. MCTS spokesman Matt Sliker also said the information will be available on buses, including window clings and audio messages that play on the buses. A total of 32 routes will be affected through the three phases. Phases two and three will be implemented beginning June 6 and Aug. MCTS NEXT will be implemented in phases, with the first phase beginning March 7. In some cases, stops were eliminated if they were not Americans with Disabilities Act accessible.
Stops that were removed from the routes were too close to other stops, according to MCTS, and did not have enough riders to justify the stop. Route 68 will replace service from Routes 63 and 15 on Port Washington Road.īoth of the new routes will run from 6 a.m. The route’s southern terminus will be the Walmart on South 27 th Street in Franklin. Route 20 will run between National and College avenues along South 20 th Street.
