New route for Roncesvalles buses, starting Monday

The City of Toronto project to install new watermains along Roncesvalles Avenue enters its next phase. Starting Monday, July 20, the City is closing the street to all southbound traffic.

Streetcars operating along the 504 King route continue to start and end their trips in the Roncesvalles carhouse yard, just north of the Queensway / Queen Street West. On Monday, the TTC is revising the routes of the shuttle buses that replace the streetcars along Roncesvalles and the 313 Jane overnight buses.

ending their trips.

Northbound buses start their trips at Queen Street West and Roncesvalles Avenue, then proceed:
