REDUCTIONS TO
ADDRESS ON-TIME PERFORMANCE |

Route 13 would
operate as a one-way loop south of Olin Avenue.
This will eliminate direct service between
southern portions of the route (i.e. from John
Nolen towards South Transfer in the AM, from
South Transfer Point towards John Nolen in the
PM). This option assumes no major budget
reductions in the Town of Madison (see section
on potential Town changes); |
|
|
Route 18 during
the afternoon peak would operate on a 40-minute
schedule, which could create transfer waits at
the South and/or West Transfer Points; |
|
|
Route 28 would
be removed from Sheboygan Avenue, following
University Avenue and Whitney Way to and from
the West Transfer Point; |
|
|
Route 44 will
be removed from Fisher and Buick and follow Park
St. inbound and outbound.
|
|
|
Some reverse
commute trips on Routes 56 and 57 would be
eliminated (from West Transfer Point towards
McKee Road in AM peak, from McKee Road towards
West Transfer Point in PM peak); |
|
|
Route 80 trips
would use the new section of Observatory Drive,
once built between Walnut and Highland, and
would no longer serve old University Avenue
between Walnut and Highland. |
