506 Carlton
Weekend bus replacement for City construction
-
The City of Toronto is replacing a sewer on College Street, between Yonge Street and University Avenue. As a result, streetcars on the 506/306 Carlton routes will be replaced with buses on Saturdays and Sundays, from January 6 to February 16, 2002. Because buses cannot operate on the tracks at High Park Loop, buses on the 506 Carlton route will operate via Parkside Drive to and from Keele Station. There will be no change to the routing on the 306 Carlton overnight service, which operates to Dundas West Station. Additional time will be added to the schedules to reduce delays to buses when travelling through the construction areas.
Routing details
506 Carlton eastbound: From Keele Station, south on Parkside Drive, east on Howard Park Avenue, over the regular route to Main Street Station.
506 Carlton westbound: Over the regular routing from Main Street Station, west on Howard Park Avenue, north on Parkside Drive to Keele Station.
At stops with passenger islands, buses will serve the islands; at all other stops, buses will serve stops at the curb.
