Entry #42: Breslau: Extend Existing Bus service to the Waterloo Regional Airport and Future GO Station

I do hope everyone had a merry Christmas and a happy holidays, now it is the end for 2015, I hope everyone has a great year in 2016! Since this will be the last blog of 2015, I was looking at how to end it with a bang, and I found it. When I was using Google Maps, I wanted to see what Breslau had, neighbourhood wise and how big it was. I was very surprised to see how built up it is out there, also very surprised to see that there is no bus service to Breslau or the Waterloo Regional Airport. So, from now to sometime in 2016, my new project will be to transfer the bus routes at Stanley Park Mall, and focus them out the Breslau I will post in this some of the ideas I do have in mind for focusing on routes 20, 23, 27, 34, 204 Highland-Victoria iXpress and the 205 Ottawa Street iXpress. So here are the ideas I have for sending service to Breslau:

Route 20 Victoria-Frederick: Modify route 20 from Stanley Park Mall to Waterloo Regional Airport via Victoria Street, Centennial Road and Fountain Street. This would provide a direct link between the Boardwalk, Downtown Kitchener and Breslau.

Route 23 Idlewood (Option 1)
Modify route 23 to service the Heritage Park Neighbourhood, Sims Estate and Lackner Boulevard to Breslau. Route 23 would provide a Fairview Park-Stanley Park-Breslau connection. New Sunday service between Fairview Park and Breslau every 30 minutes. 30 Minutes via Zeller/Heritage Park and 30 minutes via Sims Estate/Lackner.

Route 23 Idlewood (Option 2)
Modify route 23 to service Franklin Street, Heritage Park Neighbourhood, Sims Estate and Lackner Boulevard to Breslau. Route 23 would provide a Fairview Park-Stanley Park-Breslau connection. New Sunday service between Fairview Park and Breslau every 30 minutes. 30 Minutes via Zeller/Heritage Park, 30 minutes via Sims Estate/Lackner, and 30 minutes via Franklin.

Route 27 Chicopee
Modify route 27 to two way Service along Morgan Avenue, Sims Estate, Fairway Road to the Waterloo Regional Airport. This would provide a direct link between Fairview Park and Breslau and the Chicopee Ski Hill. Service Monday to Sunday would be 30 minutes.

Route 34 Bingemans
Extend route 34 from Shirley Avenue to Breslau via Victoria Street and Woolwich Street. New service along King Street and Wellington Street. New midday, evening and weekend service introduced.

Route 204 Victoria-Highland iXpress
Extend route 204 along Victoria Street and Fountain Street to Waterloo Regional Airport. This would provide a direct link between the Boardwalk and Breslau via Highland Road, Downtown Kitchener, Victoria Street and the Waterloo Regional Airport.


Route 205 Ottawa Street iXpress
Extend route along Ottawa Street to Woolwich Street and Fountain Street to the Airport. This would provide a direct link between Mannheim, Sunrise Centre, Ottawa Street, Woolwich Street, and the Waterloo Regional Airport.

These are the main ideas I have for Breslau and the Waterloo Regional Airport. I will do my best and provide a map with the service for Breslau.

I hope everyone has had a great year in 2015, I wish the best for you all in 2016.

Happy New Years!
