Road 2 Hope Marathon Detours Multiple Routes on November 6th [ UPDATED ]
The Road2Hope marathon takes place on Sunday, November 6th, 2016. The marathon consists of a full and a partial marathon, each resulting in separate road and lane closures.
The full marathon (42 km) starts at Dofasco Park (1st Road East, south of Green Mountain Road) in upper Stoney Creek at 8:00 AM. The runners proceed north on Third Road East, east on Green Mountain Road, north on Tapleytown Road, east on Ridge Road, south on Fifth Road East, west on Highland Road, north on Albion Road, north on the Red Hill Valley Parkway exiting at Barton Street. The runners will continue west on Barton Street and enter the Red Hill rail trail just west of the southbound off ramp. The runners will remain on the rail trail, take the new bridge over the QEW and exit at Van Wagners Beach Blvd. Runners will cross the street near Confederation Park and proceed to the Beach Trail (Burlington bound). Runners will exit onto Beach Blvd. near Van Wagners and continue northwest (Burlington bound) on the lake side of Beach Blvd. The runners will then enter the Beach trail near Eastport Drive and return via the Beach trail to Confederation Park.
The half marathon (21 km) starts at Dofasco Park at 8:15 AM.
The following road and lane closures that will affect HSR will be in effect while the race is in progress:
- Red Hill Valley Parkway (downbound lanes only) from Mud Street to Barton Street, approximate times 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM
- Beach Boulevard (one Burlington bound lane) from Woodward Avenue to Eastport Drive from approximately 8:45 AM to 1:00 PM.
Delays can be expected, perhaps severe, at the following locations:
- Barton Street – Race participants will exit the RHVP, cross to the furthest north westbound lane and enter the Red Hill trail just west of the southbound off ramp. Police will assist participants in crossing from the south side to the north side of Barton Street from approximately 8:30 to 11:15 am.
- Upper Centennial Parkway – Race participants will cross at Highland Road from approximately 8 to 9:45 am.
- Stone Church Road – Race participants will cross at the Upper Red Hill Valley Parkway (Stone Church on ramp to RHVP northbound) from approximately 8 to 9:45 am.
As a result, routes 11 PARKDALE and 43 STONE CHURCH buses will be detoured.
Lane Restrictions along James Mountain Road could cause delays to routes 20/21/33/35 thru October 28th
To safely complete a repair of the barrier wall, traffic along James Mountain Road will be reduced to one lane from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM throughout this week.
The road will be open to up-bound and down-bound traffic and will be controlled by signs and flags. The lane restrictions begin today and are expected to wrap up by Friday, October 28th, 2016.

Fall 2015 Service Enhancements [UPDATED 7/19]
Proposed changes for FALL 2015 are summarized below. These changes represent Phase 1 of the Ten Year (2015-2024) Local Transit Strategy. Phase 1, to be rolled out over three periods (September 2015, March 2016 & September 2016) is comprised of actions designed to address current system deficiencies by applying the limited additional vehicles and operators where we will get the best return on investment.
System deficiencies were identified by analyzing various data samples like schedule deviation and passenger loadings (among many other data sets). A sample of that data can be seen in the tables on the following pages. Additionally, input from Operations and the passengers was equally important and valuable.

21 UPPER KENILWORTH no Longer Servicing Mohawk 4 Ice Centre
In February 2014, route 21 UPPER KENILWORTH was given a limited extension to the Mohawk 4 Ice Centre on Mountain Brow Blvd. The extension ran on Tuesdays & Thursdays only, and only on the trip which ordinarily arrived at the Mountain Brow Loop at 7:45am. This change was not added to the timetable.
The planning department had this to say about the extension. “When it was originally put in, it was to help Sherwood students get to a hockey program at the arena. They did not need a ride home so the extension was helpful.”
The extension was stopped for the summer and was changed to on demand only for the fall and beyond. The HSR did not receive any more requests for additional trips to be extended, and the service has been discontinued.
No other HSR service is provided to Mohawk 4 Ice Centre.
