Brampton Transit will divert buses on the 2 Main route during the event.

Northbound buses reverse the routing.

GO Transit has not announced detours, but it will likely also divert buses on the 31 Georgetown route during the event. Southbound buses would operate along their regular route to Main Street North and Nelson Street West, then detour westward along Nelson, through the Downtown Brampton Bus Terminal, then southward along George Streets North and South, eastward along Wellington Street West, resuming their regular route at Wellington and Main. Northbound buses would reverse this routing.


Toronto

Beaches Jazz Festival

The City of Toronto will close Queen Street East between Woodbine and Beech Avenues every evening from 6 p.m. to midnight on Thursday, July 26, Friday, July 27 and Saturday, July 28 to accommodate the Beaches Jazz Festival.

The TTC will divert transit services during the event.

All streetcars operating on the 501 Queen service will end their routes at Kingston Road and Queen Street East. The TTC will not operate transit services along Queen between Kingston and Neville Park Boulevard.

To replace the streetcar service, the TTC will increase service on the 64 Main and the 92 Woodbine South routes. It will also revise the on-street loop at the south end of the 64 Main route because Queen Street is closed. Southbound 64 Main buses will operate along their regular route to Wineva Avenue and Queen, then continue southward along Wineva and westward along Hubbard Boulevard. Northbound buses begin their routes at Hubbard and Lee Avenue, then proceed northward along Lee and eastward along Williamson Road, resuming their regular route at Williamson and Southwood Drive.
