The Transit Authority of River City (TARC) has announced changes are beginning Feb. 13 including a bus stopping every 15 minutes at all stops on major sections of Routes #18 and #23 from 6 a.m.- 9 p.m. on weekdays.
Maps and schedules reflecting the upcoming changes are available at http://www.ridetarc.org/SpecialEvents.asp?ArticleID=459. Paper copies are available at the TARC offices, 1000 W. Broadway.
A federal grant is covering the additional service on the two routes, which serve a huge part of Louisville Metro and carry 20 percent of TARC's ridership. The 15-minute service on #18 extends from Dixie Highway at Bethany Lane to Preston Highway at Fern Valley Road, connecting downtown on Market Street (eastbound) and Jefferson Street (westbound). Route #23 service is on Broadway, from Southwestern Parkway, to Baxter Avenue and then on Bardstown Road to Taylorsville Road. Weekend service on those routes will also improve with bus arrivals every 30 minutes from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Other changes include:
• Route #18 will be rerouted to serve the east side of the University of Louisville's Belknap campus. Route #2 will be rerouted to cover about a mile of Preston Highway that will no longer be part of the #18 route.
• Additional connections linking downtown, South Louisville, the University of Louisville's Belknap campus and the Louisville Medical Center include rerouting of Route #4 to include a loop around the Louisville Medical Center.
• Routes #43 and #27 will be extended in the Portland neighborhood to serve a Kroger on 35th Street near Bank Street. There will no longer be a stop at the Portland Loop on Portland Avenue at 32nd Street.
