Edmonton Transit New Direction

Changes are happening to our North End big time!

You can make a difference by voicing feedback to our City of Edmonton Councilors and the

mayor.

The bus system will be undertaking changes that affect many of you. Route 180 and 152 will not

exist and if you wish to catch a bus will require walking to the main arteries such as 66 Street

and 137 Avenue, or to 132 Avenue and bus stops on Fort Road.

As per the information session that was back in December our North end bus routes into

Belvedere and into Londonderry will be cut out.

PLEASE EMAIL our councilor Aaron Paquette - [email protected]

Or call 780-496-8138

For more information check website: edmonton.ca/newbusroutes

or contact them [email protected]





The thick lines are where the bus routes will run in the new proposal.

As you can see…. no inner Belvedere bus routes. In front of Belvedere school will be gone, as

will the route on 58 Street.

WE, as citizens must make a difference and provide our feedback.

Many of our residents cannot walk the many blocks to a main road to catch a bus.

There will not be the smaller community shuttle bus in our area.

Tell the City councilors we care and to please reevaluate.

Community Patrol

Happy New Year and let us make this a better year for caring and watching out for the

residents of Belvedere. Crime stops for no one and ignoring that a neighbor’s garage door is

open with no one around and doing nothing about it is rude. Please if you notice the door is

wide open do something about it, see if they are home or try to close it. Thefts from garages

and homes are rising. BE AWARE!

Continue to watch out around your property and neighborhood and report crime or public

mischief that has taken place. Report to non-emergency 780-423-4567 or mobile text #377

EMERGENCY # IS CRIME IN PROGRESS OR CURB THE DANGER (If we think a person is driving

intoxicated) CALL 911

Thank you to the residents that do walk or drive and being the eyes, ears and report crime.

Thank you for helping us keep safe.

Unity in Community.

Brenda
