      <title>DTA returns Mall buses to pre-construction routing on January 3</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h2>Schedule or routing changes for routes 6, 7, 9, 11, 14 and 15</h2> <p>The Duluth Transit Authority is returning buses serving the Miller Hill Mall area to pre-road construction routing on Sunday, January 3rd.</p> <p>Due to major road construction in the Miller Hill Mall area that began last spring, the DTA revised the way it served the Miller Hill Mall area last April. Not all “Mall buses” provided service beyond the Mall’s Door 8 Bus Stop and a Mall Area Connector shuttle was introduced for service beyond the Miller Hill Mall. These changes were implemented to avoid schedule delays.</p> <p>Beginning January 3rd, the DTA will return Route 10, 10H buses to its pre-construction routing for direct service beyond the Miller Hill Mall to Village Mall, K-Mart, Target, Burning Tree Plaza and Super One. As a result, the Mall Area Connector will be discontinued, along with direct service to Penney’s. New daily service, however, will be added to Kohl’s on midday and Saturday Route 14 buses.</p> <p>As a result of the January 3rd service changes in the Miller Hill Mall area, minor schedule, routing and inter-lining (connecting bus routes) changes will be implemented on Route 6 (Midday schedule and interlining), Route 7 (Saturday interlining), Route 9 (Saturday schedule and routing), Route 10 (Mall Routing), Route 11 (Midday schedule), Route 14 (Midday routing and Saturday schedule and routing), and Route 15 (Saturday schedule).</p> <p><strong>Routes 1-2-3</strong> West Mainline – NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><strong>Route 4</strong> Ramsey Raleigh – NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><strong>Route 5</strong> West-to-the-Mall – NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>Route 6</strong> East Mainline / UMD – MID-DAY SCHEDULE CHANGES (WEEKDAYS)</span></p> <p><span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>Route 7</strong> East Mainline / Lakeside</span> – NO WEEKDAY SCHEDULE CHANGES<br /> <span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>SATURDAY INTERLINING (CONNECTION ROUTES) CHANGE:</strong> Buses to be interlined with Route 9M buses, rather than Route 10 buses for direct service to the Miller Hill Mall.</span><br /> <strong>SUNDAY SERVICE: </strong>NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>Route 9</strong> Piedmont</span> – NO WEEKDAY SCHEDULE CHANGES <br /> <span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>SATURDAY SCHEDULE CHANGE:</strong> Schedule revised 30 minutes earlier to and departing from downtown.</span><br /> <strong>SUNDAY SERVICE:</strong> NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>Route 9M</strong> Piedmont / Mall</span> – NO WEEKDAY SCHEDULE CHANGES<br /> <span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>SATURDAY ROUTING CHANGE:</strong> 9M buses returning to Piedmont and downtown will provide service from locations beyond the Miller Hill Mall including Super One, Burning Tree Plaza, Target, K-Mart and the Miller Hill Mall Door Eight Bus Stop.</span><br /> <strong>SUNDAY SERVICE:</strong> NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>Routes 10</strong> Duluth Heights / Mall – ROUTING CHANGES</span> / NO SCHEDULE CHANGES <br /> <span style="background-color:yellow;">Route 10 buses will provide service beyond the Miller Hill Mall’s Door 8 Bus Stop including Village Mall, K-Mart, Target, Burning Tree Plaza and Super One. </span></p> <p><span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>Route 11</strong> East 8th / UMD– MID-DAY SCHEDULE CHANGES (WEEKDAYS)</span><br /> <span style="background-color:yellow;">Weekday Route 11 schedule times will be 15 minutes earlier during mid-day hours.</span></p> <p><strong>Route 11K</strong> East 8th / UMD / Kenwood – NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><strong>Route 11M</strong> East 8th / UMD / Morley Heights – NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><strong>Route 12</strong> Kenwood / UMD – NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><strong>Route 13</strong> East 4th / UMD / Woodland – NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><strong>Route 13W</strong> (Weekend ) East 4th / Woodland – NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><strong>Route 13U</strong> East 4th / UMD – NO SCHEDULE CHANGES</p> <p><span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>Route 14/14P</strong> W. 4th Street- Eklund-Mall – MIDDAY ROUTING CHANGES</span><br /> <span style="background-color:yellow;">Route 14P buses will provide midday service to Kohl’s, Super One, and Piedmont Park &amp; Ride.</span><br /> <span style="background-color:yellow;"><strong>SATURDAY SCHEDULE &amp; ROUTING CHANGE:</strong></span><br /> <span style="background-color:yellow;">ROUTE 14 PROVIDES SATURDAY SERVICE TO KOHL’S</span><br /> <span style="background-color:yellow;">Route 14 buses on Saturday provide service to the Mall’s Door 8 Bus Stop, Kohl’s and Super One.

Route #18 provides hourly service from 7:23 a.m. and 11:36 p.m. on weekdays.</p> <p>Route #18 service is provided from September through May during fall and spring semesters; but does not provide service when UMD is on semesters or holiday breaks.</p> <p>Route #13U provides additional support service for route #13 (UMD &#8211; Woodland via East Fourth Street) during fall and spring semesters where student ridership is traditionally strong. Only the route #13U trip departing the Downtown Transit Center at 7:15 a.m. is operated year-round.</p> <p>Route #13U buses will begin service to UMD from Sixth Avenue East and Fourth Street this year rather than downtown Duluth, with the exception of two trips departing the Downtown Transit Center at 7:15 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. All route #13U trips departing UMD will continue to provide service to downtown as in previous years.</p> ]]></description>
