Route Impacts
Route 124 will change its routing from 153 Avenue and 97 Street to 155 Avenue and 100 Street through the interior of the Beaumaris neighbourhood.

In addition to Century Park and Leger, Heritage Valley Transit Centre will be another hub for riders in the areas of Hays Ridge, Keswick, Glenridding Ravine and Graydon Hill. These additions will help facilitate transfers to Route 727 and other high schools in September.
Joining Eaux Claires, Castle Downs Transit Centre will be a new hub for riders in the areas of Northwest Police Campus, Goodridge Corners, Albany, Rapperswill, Canossa, Elsinore and Chambery neighbourhoods.
