Transportation Updates State Fair Wolfline Service Impacts (Oct. 13-23) Due to heavy traffic, the Wolfline cannot serve the Centennial Biomedical Campus (CVM) during the State Fair time frame (Oct. 1323). The closest CVM Wolfline bus stop is a temporary stop located on Westchase Boulevard near Blue Ridge Road. The Carter-Finley Park & Ride Lot will be temporarily relocated to the northwest corner of the current P&R lot and Wolfline riders will board/deboard at Westchase Boulevard (bottom of steps) beginning Thursday, Oct. 13 through the duration of the State Fair. Rt. 6 Carter-Finley will continue to serve the relocated Park & Ride lot, but will be detoured. Hillsborough Street stops west of Faircloth/Gorman Street will not be served. The Carter-Finley Park & Ride Lot returns to its normal location and Rt. 6 resumes its regular route Monday, Oct. 24. Source: Kim Paylor Transit Manager
