Route 508 will be split into two routes (route 508 and route 527), with the 508 running from Mill Woods Transit Centre to Meadows Transit Centre. The 527 will replace service in the Millbourne neighbourhood.

Edmonton Transit Service (ETS) will replace conventional transit with On Demand Transit in Riverdale, Lendrum, Malmo, Belgravia and Windsor Park.

Route 111 will no longer run through Riverdale and will run to Stadium Transit Centre through McCauley, Alberta Avenue and Parkdale.

Due to low ridership, routes 131, 725 and 726 will be cancelled.

Riverdale residents will be able to access On Demand Transit Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. as well as on weekends and holidays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Demand Transit from Riverdale will connect to City Centre Mall and Churchill Square transit hubs.

Lendrum and Malmo will have regular hours of service and will connect to Southgate Transit Centre. Belgravia and Windsor Park will also have regular service hours and will connect to the University Transit Centre.

Other service changes

Route 109A/B will be rerouted onto Juchli Avenue in the Griesbach neighbourhood. It will then be rerouted onto 167 Avenue, bringing it closer to commercial areas. Some bus stops on this route will be moved.

Due to a full traffic signal being installed at 40 Avenue and 50 Street, the 507 will run more directly between the Tamarack neighbourhood and Southgate Transit Centre. A number of bus stops will be moved.

Some bus bays at Southgate, South Campus/Fort Edmonton Park and Mill Woods Transit Centres will be reassigned.
