North West Safeguards Route 432/433 Service Continuity

Bus routes 432 and 433 skip stop CB on Cook Street due to scaffolding, use stop CA instead

Routes 432, 433 Skip Stop CB on Cook Street

Riders on bus routes 432 and 433 in the North West metro area can't use stop CB on Cook Street due to scaffolding blocking access, transit officials said Monday. Both routes now stop at nearby stop CA instead, located just before the affected stop. Officials haven't said when the temporary change will end, as it depends on completion of the scaffolding work.

Alternative Stop Serves Affected Passengers

The service modification affects a key stop on Cook Street where scaffolding at the bottom of the street makes it impossible for buses to safely serve stop CB, according to the transit agency. Officials classified the disruption as high-severity, meaning it may significantly impact regular commuters who rely on these routes. Transit agencies typically reroute or skip stops when construction, utility work, or other obstacles block safe access. The change took effect February 24, though officials didn't specify whether advance notice was provided to riders.

Both Routes Use Same Detour Point

Routes 432 and 433 now both stop at alternative stop CA, positioned just before the inaccessible stop CB on Cook Street. Officials said passengers who normally board or exit at stop CB should use stop CA for the duration of the disruption. The proximity of the two stops means most riders won't need to walk significantly farther, though the exact distance between stops wasn't specified. Officials didn't provide details about whether stop CA has adequate capacity for the combined passenger load from both stops.

Duration Tied to Construction Timeline

The temporary stop closure will remain in effect until scaffolding work on Cook Street is completed, officials said, though a specific timeline wasn't provided. Transit agencies typically can't predict exact restoration dates for construction-related disruptions because completion depends on contractors' schedules and work progress. Officials said riders should continue checking for updates about when normal service to stop CB will resume.

Riders Advised to Plan for Changes

Passengers who regularly use stop CB on routes 432 and 433 should allow extra time for their journeys and plan to use stop CA instead, officials said. The high-severity classification suggests the change may cause noticeable inconvenience for regular commuters on these routes.
