KAT Route Revisions Effective June 2, 2025

KAT has made revisions to three (3) routes, which will take effect on June 2, 2025. The Planning Department has made changes to Route 11, Route 15, and Route 34 due to safety concerns and community requests.

The route revisions will be as follows:

Route 11: Sutherland/Kingston Pike – The route revision will implement the current long-term detour as the permanent route to improve safety near the mall entrance. No stops will be discontinued. 4 stops are to be added at Morrell Road SB and Gleason Drive, Gleason Drive WB and West Town Mall, Gleason Drive EB mid-block before Morrell Road, and Morrell Road NB mid-block before Kingston Pike.
