Keating neighborhood won't have bus po A Number

Proposed changes to bus service
in the Keating Ridge area and in a
Brentwood Bay neighborhood will
not be implemented, a B.C. Transit
spokesman said Friday.

Recommendations to a transit
commission meeting scheduled
for yesterday is that “itll be
basically the status quo,” said Ron
Drolet, divisional manager of
planning and contract services.

“We're suggesting to the com-
mission that the proposal is not to
go at this time.”

B.C. Transit proposed to move
its Number 75 bus off Central

Saanich Road and onto Rodolph
Road and Beuna Vista Road, to
pick up possible users from the
area east of Rodolph Road but
west of the Pat Bay Highway, he
said.

Residents in the area signed
hundreds of names to a petition
opposing the change and sent in to
Central Saanich council and B.C
Transit.

Leaving the service as is breaks
Transit’s normal walk limits, Dro-
let said.

As well, a suggestion to move
bus service off Wallace Drive in

Brentwood, to go down Sluggett
and return on Marchant, was
scrapped. B.C. Transit will bring a
recommendation to Central Saa-
nich council “and I think they

would support not operating on™

Sluggett and continue operating on
Wallace,” Drolet said.

The Number 75 will serve a new
middle school to be constructed on
Wallace Drive.

Meanwhile, the Number 70
transit bus will not have any route
changes but frequency will be
improved to provide a “semi-

“TheReview “Wednesday May? 22,1991 — A386

express Style,” Drolet said.

With a new Number 71 in
service, persons boarding in Sid-
ney will no longer tavel through
Saanichton on the way downtown.
Rather, the 71 will access the Pat
Bay at McTavish Road for an
uninterrupted ride to Victoria, he

said.

Final approvals for the Number
75’s route on Wallace Drive, com-
plete with an exact schedule and
stop locations will likely be made

in August, Drolet said.
