Temporary Detours and Route Changes
|
Service Alert: Parade of Lights - December 6 |
||
|
The annual Parade of Lights will take place on Saturday, December 6, 2025, resulting in road closures between 6:30 pm and 8:30 pm. These closures will affect Transit service along the parade route, and several stops will be unavailable during this time. All stops along Memorial Avenue, from Dunlop Street to Queen Street, as well as stops on Fort William Road between Main St. and the Harbour Expressway, will not be in service during the parade.
Detours & Traffic Flow Transit buses will follow detours that change as needed based on real-time traffic conditions. Because traffic may stop or slow during the event, buses will adjust their routing to maintain service where possible and return to regular routes once it is safe to do so. Riders should expect delays during this period and plan travel accordingly. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to keep everyone moving safely during this community event. |
