CityLink Tour of Lights Cancelled

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to limit social gatherings while observing social distancing guidelines, CityLink is canceling its annual Tour of Lights event.  

An annual tradition for over 25 years, the CityLink Tour of Lights has provided many families the opportunity to travel within the city to view Christmas light displays and decorations. CityLink looks forward to resuming the Tour of Lights for the 2021 Christmas season. 

To provide much safer access to the Target, VA clinic, and Goodwill area, CityLink will change routes 7 and 28 to travel on John Knox Drive instead of Ridgemont Drive. The change to routes 7 and 28 will be effective October 12, 2020.        

Both Route 7 and Route 28 will travel east on Curry Lane, and then turn south (right) on to John Knox Drive to travel behind Target, the VA clinic, and Goodwill area, and then continue until reaching Ridgemont. Both routes will then resume current service on Ridgemont Drive, heading south. The current bus stop east of Goodwill will be moved to John Knox Drive.  

July 13, 2020 Update

CityLink considers the health and safety of its passengers and employees as top priority and is addressed with the utmost importance. 

In order to protect the well-being of passengers and our employees, CityLink continues to disinfect high touch areas inside our buses after each trip. Nightly sanitizing of all buses have been continual throughout the virus outbreak. The passenger lobby currently has some limited seating to promote social distancing. The lobby area is also disinfected several times throughout the day.

Another safety measure that has been incorporated is the installation of clear plastic curtains as a moveable barrier to reduce the risk of virus exposure within the farebox/driver area. Seating in the front priority area is not available to allow more social distancing within the bus.

CityLink continues to encourage passengers to protect themselves from germs and practice social distancing. Signs have been installed in the buses encouraging passengers to wear face coverings. Masks will continue to be distributed to passengers that want to wear them as our supply allows. 

CityLink has implemented safeguards with its employees such as wearing masks and gloves plus daily temperature checks however, it will require everyone’s cooperation to limit the spread of this virus. 

We realize that our passengers have travel needs within our community therefore, CityLink will continue to operate all essential transportation services as scheduled.
