The LTC Report regarding proposed changes to service has now been posted at http://www.londontransit.ca/staff-report-2-re-2019-service-plan-conventional-transit/
Here is an extract from the LTC report regarding proposed changes for Routes 9 and 31. The report presents two routing alternatives through the Whitehills neighbourhood.
Regarding service for Orchard Park, the report states, “With the goal of simplifying the system a main objective of the 2019 service plan it was determined that maintaining the current routing [for route 31] through the neighborhood until 6 pm was not a viable option as it would continue to add confusion to the route.”
