The new year will likely bring some new Durham Region Transit stops in Vallentyne.

Responding to a request from Brock Township, Christopher Norris – the manager of customer service planning for the transit commission – notes that potential locations near the intersection of Concession 7 and Lake Ridge Road (Regional Road 23) are being scouted by the Region’s works department.

“When a recommended approval for the locations are (sic) provided, the transit stops will be implemented,” Norris noted.

“It is expected that the stops will be available to customers on Jan. 1, 2018.”
