Route 15: De Pere/Ashwaubenon

This route replaces the current Route 15: Libal/De Pere route.

The current route 15 has been a poor performing route in comparison to the rest of the fixed routes.

As part of the restructure and growth and development in De Pere, we attempted to develop a route to better service west De Pere. The goal was to service St. Norbert College, the west side business park, the Wal-Mart shopping area, and provide service from De Pere to Ashwaubenon.

It should be noted this bus will only depart from the transit center once in the morning and return once at the end of the day. This route will operate in De Pere and Ashwaubenon at all other times.

On the east side of De Pere, this route will begin at the corner of George and S. Erie Street. The route will head south on S. Erie Street and take a right on Cook Street. The route will head west to Broadway and turn north on Broadway. At the roundabout, the route will cross the bridge and head west on Main Street.

The route will take a left at Main and 9th Street and head south to Scheuring Road. The route will then head west along Scheuring to American Blvd. and head south. The route will head south until it readhes Employers Blvd. and service the Humana Complex. After Humana, the route will head north on Lawrence Drive, cross Scheuring Road and service the Wal-Mart Supercenter complex and exit back onto Scheuring Road, heading west.

The route will enter Highway 41 and head north to Ashwaubenon, exiting on Oneida Street. The route will head north on Oneida Street to Willard Drive. Once on Willard, the route will head to San Luis Place and head north, providing service to Target. The route will then head east on Cormier back to Oneida to begin the inbound service to De Pere.

This route will provide hourly service.

This stinks.

Where are all the people who catch the bus on Walnut St. supposed to catch a bus to get where they are going.

First of all you took away the inbound Schmitt Park & now you want to leave us stranded without a bus at all going down Walnut?

You "BIG" planners should try depending on the Metro System like a lot of us Senior Citizens have to & I think you'd leave well enough alone. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Well transit will be hampering the people who live along libal to get to work who are disabled. WAY TO GO TRANSIT!!! You also hamper the ability for people to visit places and people who are on libal street!!!!I am hoping that you are planning on detouring the number 11 route at least 2 times a day for the people who are being robbed of the tranist services that they are paying for with this route being taken away??????

I'm really disappointed. We purchased this house near the 15 so my son can go to work at Aspiro. Now he will have to walk 3 blocks uphill to catch the 11 on Webster. I used it to shop and go to the library. I won't be walking 3 blocks straight uphill to catch the 11!

Here we are, approaching decision time, next week will be October and Winter will soon be here, but there have been no mention of when you will or will not implement the changes you are proposing. If your decisions will effect us, we need to plan as well.

instead of eliminating the current libal- De Pere route, the De Pere-Ashwaubenon should its own separate route. the libal- De pere could then travel by east de pere high. just use De Pere shopko as a transfer spot between the three routes. three routes, not two. Don't anger the riders any more than you already have.
