Whenever bus stops are change, it can be difficult for people to adjust at first. But this project will have a positive impact on bus riders because it is making the route more reliable and safe. There was a great deal of community engagement on the project, and I have been closely monitoring its implementation. <\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n
