Review the Q17 route summary

The proposed Q17 would maintain its existing routing. Only stop changes are proposed.

To match stop spacing on other Limited routes, Q17 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than Local routes to improve speed and reliability, but still within walking distance.

No frequency or span changes are being proposed at this time.
