PEORIA (25News Now) – The previously announced discontinuation of CityLink bus service to Creve Coeur and the #23 Pekin Connector Route is no longer happening.
CityLink said in a Wednesday night release that bus stops in Creve Coeur will continue after Nov. 4.
CityLink said it identified a path forward that lets it maintain service while continuing to meet federal accessibility requirements under the ADA, following conversations with the Illinois Department of Transportation and representatives from Creve Coeur.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, public transit agencies operating fixed-route bus service are generally required to provide complementary paratransit service for eligible riders with disabilities within three-quarters of a mile of those routes. Paratransit services typically include transportation options that are for eligible people whose disabilities prevent them from using regular bus service.
CityLink did not elaborate on what changed to keep the bus service.
