  36. Cleaner, Smarter Transit. THE END @NewOrleansRTA

  37. St. Bernard Route 52 • St. Bernard on time performance is adversely affected by number of schools along route during AM and PM school travel times. • Ben Franklin, Lake Area High School, McDonogh 35, Holy Cross, St. Augustine, J.S. Clark • UNO peak dismissal time between 3pm – 4pm

  38. St. Bernard Route 52 • What is changing: • Simplify St. Bernard routes so that they run on one main street. • Trips outside of peak periods would be better coordinated with the 94‐Broad to ease transfers. • Overnight service is added on Line 52. To ensure hourly round trip service, line 52 buses would turn at Robert E. Lee Boulevard. Late night service to UNO is proposed to be provided n Line 55‐ Elysian Fields. • The route for Line 52 would be changed slightly to run all of Paris Avenue between St. Bernard Avenue and Le on C. Simon Drive. Line 52 would no longer turn onto Mirabeau Avenue or St. Anthony Avenue. It would instead continue up Paris Avenue to Robert E. Lee Boulevard and Leon C. Simon Drive. • The route name for Line 52 would be changed from “52‐St. Bernard‐St. Anthony” to “52‐St. Bernard‐Paris.”
