Starting Monday, December 22, as part of OC Transpo’s winter service change, Routes 17 and 25 will move to Hemlock Road and will no longer serve Mikinak Road between Wanaki and Codd’s roads. With this change, the bus stops on Mikinak Road at Moses Tennisco Street and on Wanaki Road south of Mikinak Road will be removed. Four new bus stops will be added on Wanaki Road and Hemlock Road. Existing stops on Wanaki Road north of Provender Avenue and on Codd’s Road south of Mikinak Road will not change.
Why are these routes changing?
This change is part of the long-term transit service plan for the Wateridge Village community. With development progressing and the local population growing, bus service that was temporarily routed along Mikinak Road can now be shifted to Hemlock Road, the planned transit street. The new routing and bus stops improve access to service for residents in the north part of Wateridge Village.
