Better Bus Stops Project: Sunnyside

We are reviewing the routing and associated bus stops on eastbound Route 7 St-Laurent between Sunnyside/Seneca and Sunnyside/Bank, and want to know what you think. 

As part of the Integrated Road Project planned on Grove and Grosvenor later this year, Route 7 St-Laurent will require a detour via Sunnyside Avenue. We are exploring the possibility of making this routing adjustment permanent following the completion of the Integrated Road Project.

The routing adjustment would provide customers who travel along this route with:

• Faster travel times
• More reliable trips
• Easier and more predictable travel planning with service on Sunnyside in both directions

Don’t stray onto the bus roadway!

When you’re in a hurry, we know it can be tempting to take a shortcut by cutting across the bus roadway at stations. But saving a minute is never worth compromising your safety, or the safety of others.

The bus roadway is an active, busy road for buses and other transit vehicles. Pedestrians are not permitted to walk on the roadway.

Instead, be sure to always obey signage showing you where to go. Designated crosswalks or pedestrian bridges are well marked and provide a safe place to cross.

We also recognize that you, our customers, have lots of questions. We’re working to rebuild your trust and we understand that communication is an important part of this journey.
