From Monday, April 14 until Friday, April 25, construction of the new Archives of Ontario along Ian Macdonald Boulevard in York University, just north of the Harry W. Arthurs Common will affect York Region Transit services through the campus.
The construction results in YRT removing its stops on both sides of Ian Macdonald at the Archives site. YRT has set up a temporary stop for buses on the north side of York Boulevard at Ian Macdonald and rerouted its buses to pick up and drop off passengers at that stop.
The construction affects these routes: Viva Orange; Viva Purple; 3 Thornhill — York University; 10 York University — Woodbridge; 20 Jane — Concord.
