There might be a bit of confusion in the city’s downtown this week as London Transit Commission (LTC) users get used to their new stops.

As of April 9, all eastbound and westbound routes have been moved off downtown Dundas Street, stopping instead on King Street and Queens Avenue to accommodate the construction for Phase 1 of the Dundas Place project.

Routes 2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 19, 20, 23, 102 and 106 will be impacted.

“We have access to additional buses that we can insert on routes that are falling behind. We’ll be monitoring the service very closely and adjusting things as we can, doing the best we can to communicate those changes to our customers.”
