Route Improvements
- Improved stop spacing
Review the Q49 route summary
The proposed Q49 would maintain its existing routing. To match stop spacing on other Local routes, Q49 stops would be spaced slightly further apart than existing to improve speed and reliability.
Frequencies would be slightly adjusted in select time periods. Service would continue to operate during the same hours.
