TTC streetcar commuters should plan alternative routes this week as there are several diversions downtown due to construction.
Toronto Water repairs near King and Jarvis streets, which started yesterday, will affect the 501 Queen, 504 King, 508 Lake Shore and 503 Kingston Road streetcars until Sunday.
Diversions and replacement services will operate as follows;
- 501B Queen replacement buses will divert onto King Street and will not serve Queen
- 501 Queen streetcars and buses will not operate on Queen Street between Broadview Avenue and Church Street.
- 501D Queen streetcars will divert via King Street, to Distillery Loop.
- 504 King streetcars will not operate between Church Street and Distillery Loop and will turn back west, at King and Church streets.
- 504 King replacement buses will operate between King and York streets and Mill and Cherry streets.
- 503 Kingston Road streetcars will divert both ways, via Queen Street and Church Street. Stops not served; King Street, between Church Street and Queen Street.
- 508 Lake Shore streetcars will not operate between Church and Parliament streets.
Passengers travelling between Broadview Avenue and Church Street should take 503 Kingston Road streetcars.
Those travelling to the Distillery district, should take either the 501D Queen streetcar into Distillery Loop or 504 King replacement buses.
The changes will remain in effect until Dec. 10.
