Re: Bus Loop Through Rec Centre

The pros and cons of looping the buses through the Rec Centre parking lot were discussed. It was felt that the present loop provided a service to residents who use the Rec Centre and also an important service to the Senior Citizens which would be even mcre valuable once the new addition is completed. This loop also allowed the use of the building as a shelter by patrons waiting for the bus. Routing the buses around Wilson, Kingsway, and Kelly back to Mary Hill Road would require that some form of bus shelter be provided on Wilson or Kingsway.

The Committee recommends that the bus loop be continued through the parking lot. The Committee also recommends the following changes with respect to stop locations and these changes are acceptable to B.C. Hydro:

a. The Dewdney Bus which presently lays-over in the Rec Centre lot will lay-over on Wilson Avenue, 50 feet west of the parking lov: entrance and then circulate through the Rec Centre loop with just a short stop for pick-up. ,

The bus which presently stops briefly directly in front of the Rec Centre will instead stop where the present Dewdney bus stop is

located.

There will, therefore, be no laying-over within the parking lot and the stops will take place away from the area of major congestion in front of the entrance to the Rec Centre.
