Another West Ferris neighbourhood mobilizing against a new bus route

More residents are voicing concerns about a new transit route, this time on Ashdale Crescent and Bunting Drive.

This after council voted to switch-up a new bus route following plenty of opposition from residents on Labreche Drive.

The new route would now take the bus down Ashdale and Bunting.

Residents in that West Ferris neighbourhood have started a campaign with a Facebook page called “Ashdale and Bunting Unite! Say No To The Bus!”.

One administrator says there are industrial roads nearby that can serve as a bus turn around road rather than their residential street.

Everything from safety concerns to a loss of on-street parking and lack of notice to the fact there’s no sidewalks on Ashdale are cited in a petition, which officials say already has 125 signatures, as of Thursday night.

A presentation to council on Monday night is also being planned.
