Service on line 24- Fremont/NW 18th is changing March 1st
– N Kerby Ave and N Russell St will be eliminated for faster trips between North, Northeast and Northwest Portland.
Note: map updated January 13.
Map shows part of north Portland from N Russell St to N Fremont, with details of the old route for bus Line 24 side-by-side with the new route. The old route travels from the Fremont Bridge, down Kerby, turns east at Russell, and forms a loop on Vancouver and Williams past Russell, Knott, Graham, Stanchion, Morris, Monroe, Fargo, Cook, and Ivy before turning at N Fremont St. The new route eliminates the turn on Kerby, and instead continues generally east from the Fremont Bridge to N Fremont S, where it turns onto Vancouver, then Morris, then Williams, to form a loop back to Fremont. Stops 14099 and 14031 will be closed, and the following stops will no longer be included on Line 24: 5997, 6006, 6364 and 6362. Stop 5984 at Red Cross will become an eastbound stop to Gateway Transit Center.
It looks like there will still be connections from line #24 to lines #4 and #44.
Many Eliot residents will have a longer walk to get to line #24
