Baturyn
As part of the Baturyn Neighborhood and Alley Renewal Project, crews will be reconstructing the main corridor of 100 Street, 172 Avenue and 109 Street. Construction is anticipated to begin on April 27 and will last until the end of October 2025.
During this time, ETS will not be able to get traditional buses into this neighbourhood so an On Demand Transit area will be added to the northern part of Baturyn.
- Residents who live north of 169A/170 Avenue will have access to On Demand Transit service with Mary Butterworth School, Eaux Claires Transit Centre and Castle Downs Transit Centre as their designated transit hubs.
- Residents who live south of 169A/170 Avenue can access Routes 103/130X as they detour on Castle Downs Road NW. Five temporary stops will be added along Castle Downs Road (three eastbound, two westbound).
- During service hours, riders can book On Demand Transit trips in advance that will take them from a set pick-up/drop-off spot in their neighbourhood to a designated transit hub. These buses are accessible for riders with limited mobility and include child-friendly seats.
- To book a trip, riders can phone the call centre, use the website, use an On Demand Transit service phone located in a transit hub or book through the Edmonton On Demand Transit app.
Keswick and Glenridding
Starting April 27, the neighbourhoods of Keswick and Glenridding will be moving to a hybrid transit model that uses both conventional and On Demand Transit service. Route 729, a brand new route, will provide weekday service to the Keswick and Glenridding neighbourhoods and give riders more consistent connection to Leger and Century Park transit centres.
Route 729 will operate during morning peak, midday, afternoon peak and evenings, Monday to Friday. Frequency of service will be every 20 minutes during peak hours and every 30 minutes during the midday and evenings.
On Demand Transit service will continue to be available in both neighbourhoods on Saturdays and Sundays. ETS will continue to provide residents living in the Keswick on the River community On Demand Transit service through the full week.
Other changes:
On Demand Transit service will be added to Industrial Heights and Rampart Industrial.
- Belvedere and Coliseum Transit Centres will be the transit hubs for Industrial Heights. Stops have been added at 66 Street and 124 Avenue Southbound and 66 Street and 124 Avenue Northbound.
- Castle Downs/Eaux Claires will be the transit hub for Rampart Industrial. Stops have been added at 142 Street and 157 Avenue Westbound and 144 Street and 157 Avenue Eastbound.
On Demand Transit service is also being added to the Stewart Greens neighbourhood with Lewis Farms Transit Centre as the hub.
- Bus stops will be added at Lewis Greens Drive and 99B Avenue (#88047/#88046) and Lewis Greens Drive and 99 Avenue (#88346/#88347)
A new additional hub is being added to the Downtown Seniors Zone at 116 Street and 105 Avenue and will replace the hub at Jasper Avenue and 116 Street to help connect riders with both Routes 7 and 902.
On Demand Transit will no longer be available in the Klarvatten and Schonsee neighbourhoods. Route 122 is being rerouted to better serve the higher-density residential and commercial areas along 167 Avenue and 82 Street.
