      Service Adjustments Effective February 13, 2011 
      11/23/2010 
      TARC will make the following service adjustments effective Feb. 13, based on a review of public comments about proposed changes.  TARC received more than 150 comments in response to the proposals and held four public meetings last month.  Proposed routing changes in some cases were altered based on public feedback.  Route #4-Fourth Street, for example, will be rerouted to loop around the Louisville Medical Center but will do so from Market Street, farther north than Liberty Street which had been initially proposed. Route #2-Second Street will be rerouted to operate on about a mile of S. Preston Street that will no longer be part of Route #18-Preston-18th.  Service will also be retained on Route #27-Hill Street accessing Audubon Medical Center.

      Below are details of the changes that will take effect Feb. 13:
      Route #2 Second Street -  (see map on reverse side) All trips will be rerouted south of Hill Street, to Preston Street, to Eastern Parkway, then to Crittenden Drive, connecting to the current Route #2.  Bus frequency will be adjusted slightly because of the longer route.  This rerouting will provide service on streets that are no longer part of Route #18-Preston-18th.  (see below Route #18 changes).

      Route #4 Fourth Street - (see map on reverse side) All trips will provide direct service to and from downtown hospitals through Old Louisville, University of Louisville and southern Louisville neighborhoods. Northbound trips will travel from Fifth Street then east on Market Street, south on First Street, east on Chestnut, north on Jackson Street and west on Jefferson Street.  Route #4 will then follow the existing route south on 6th Street.

      Route #6 Sixth Street - Mid-morning trips on weekdays will be adjusted by one or two minutes to provide better service.  The southbound trip leaving Fourth and Main streets at 10:27 a.m. will now serve Sts. Mary and Elizabeth Hospital on Bluegrass Avenue.  The northbound trip that currently leaves Iroquois Park at 1:51 p.m. will instead begin at Newcut Market Center on the Outer Loop at 1:39 p.m.

      Route #18 Preston-18th - (see map on reverse side) Route #18 will be realigned to serve the University of Louisville Belknap Campus along Floyd Street and will no longer serve Shelby and Preston Streets between Hill Street and Eastern Parkway.  However, Route #2-Second Street is being rerouted to provide service on those streets (see above Route #2 changes). Trips operating north on Dixie Highway through Shively will serve a handicap-accessible stop on 7th Street Road adjacent to Southland Terrace Shopping Center.  Federal grant funding will increase frequency in bus arrival times on Route #18. 

      Route # 19 Muhammad Ali - There will be slight time adjustments on all trips all days.  There will no longer be a stop on Chestnut at Fourth Street.

      Route #21 Chestnut Street - There will be slight time adjustments on all trips on all days.  There will no longer be a stop on Chestnut at Fourth Street. The following trips will serve the Gardiner Lane post office: 6:04 a.m., 10:33 a.m., 1:33 p.m., 3:48 p.m. and 5:48 p.m.

      Route #23 Broadway - There will be time adjustments on most trips as a result of federal grant funding to increase frequency in service.

      Route #27 Hill Street - Will still continue to serve Audubon Hospital and Poplar Level Road and will be extended to serve Kroger on 35th Street near Bank Street.

      Route #43 Portland-Poplar Level - Will be extended to serve Kroger on 35th Street near Bank Street.
