A local Don Mills resident had this to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The loss of Lawrence bus 54 between Don Mills &amp; Leslie. It is amazing to me that having put up with the construction for all these years, my regular TTC trip will be longer and more complicated than before. I used to walk a relatively short distance to a friendly bus stop (Donway W and Lawrence), wait for a bus with a small group of people, hop on a bus, get off at a stop just short of Yonge St and walk up to my destination. Now I will have to walk twice as far to a bus stop that is already overcrowded and dangerous when a bunch of school kids are jostling about, ride down to Eglinton, change to the LRT, ride it all the way to Yonge, negotiate the station, then walk up Yonge. I suspect it will add time to my journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an important survey. One implication of the new Eglinton LRT is that we lose the section of Lawrence 54 between Don Mills and Leslie. That means a much longer walk to a bus stop for many, and probably longer trip times to Yonge\/Eglinton. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fsurvey.forumresearch.com%2FSE%2F1%2FTCL5%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3FFKZGfnzuOFpfCNFinr4ZHOxS6-3hj9Ft93LJ83w0VBrkrd3rPKVtKHw&amp;h=AT0hJNC5UCCVaBctE3VhbfIZ7nQeOKR19hWXOdyGlkttUhmSnAS-B5mEi6kIHFRTctdkpXqpCFJb5XwJcOPYpOpqv13tbrriu3mz6ucqlemo-M3PhJp2uqUYJW8Bsj1Yiog0nXk&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c[0]=AT2Nq58Jms5A5e1IQpTsB3pr920Rfz3v3R3_B0iGPww06fW7DoKAJRb9Ez86FUw2DXuXbFPOzNAGC1d61oQTHT9medG0pOEEEz_0TWPzu5dSj8Ub-QA1TOAWS3z_gnyLdphTH42FAPZ0zgqRYZf1kgusVpMZE_wjXEYFclE3bzM4RYgisK9tUDLra-8Szgv6zD-OdO4CQ5gLRvYKPw\" target=\"_blank\">survey.forumresearch.com\/SE\/1\/TCL5\/<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you can spare a moment to fill out the online survey if you are a TTC rider so that we can hopefully bring back the routes that matter to our local residents!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The LRT has been making changes to bus routes in Toronto and sometimes if feels like they are canceling routes without notification!
