Detours
A movie production crew will be filming in Copper Cliff on March 27, causing intermittent road closures between the hours of 4 and 8 p.m. To avoid service disruptions, and in the interest of keeping our buses on time, we will be detouring the area for the duration of the filming. We will be avoiding the regular turn-around area at the top of Diorite and Domenico Streets. Buses will travel from Rink Street, right on Marconi Street, right on Union Street, left on Rink Street and resume regular routing.
