Changes to a Halifax Transit bus route will go ahead despite some last-minute opposition from a local councillor and residents who say a bus doesn t belong in their neighbourhood.
Starting in November, route 55 in Dartmouth will be extended to include stops at Mic Mac Mall, Alderney Landing and the bridge terminal.
A portion of the route along Waverley Road will be discontinued, and the bus will travel through the Craigburn Drive subdivision.
Close to a dozen people who live in the neighbourhood made presentations to Halifax regional council on Wednesday, arguing they were not properly consulted.
