Route 5 would operate in both directions on Wingra Drive between Beld St. and Park St.


ROUTE 6

Route 6 trips would no longer serve areas east of East Towne Mall. Trips would also no longer travel south of East Towne Boulevard along Thierer, Lien and Eagan. These measures will shorten the route and aid on-time performance.

Some Route 6 buses will continue past East Towne as new Route 36 trips, that will serve a City View, East Springs and Zeier loop. This will increase the number of trips in City View and along East Springs.

Some Route 6 buses will continue past East Towne as new Route 26 trips, that will serve a loop through the American Center. This will add new midday service in the American Center area.

The number of trips operating via MATC and through the Portage/Hayes loop would increase.

On weekends and holidays, all Route 6 trips would bypass MATC and Kinsman, staying on East Washington between Wright and Stoughton Rd/Hwy 51.

New Route 10 will operate trips during midday hours between the UW Hospital and First Street in the Johnson/Gorham and Old University Avenue corridors.


ROUTE 10

New route would provide central isthmus circulation that bypassed the Capitol Square during peak and midday hours, connecting the north and south areas of the east isthmus, the Bedford-Broom area with the UW campus and hospital.
