Proposed changes include:
a.. Azalea Route - adjust timing of route and reroute middle portion of
route to veer onto Miccosukee Rd. and Magnolia Dr. before resuming route on
Mahan Dr. (This reroute would provide new service along the southern portion
of Miccosukee Rd.)

left on Monroe St. from Paul Russell Rd., right on Ross Rd., left on Shelfer
Rd., right on Capital Circle SW, right on Crawfordville Rd., right back onto

Orange Ave., left on Monroe St. then continue with route. (See Moss route.)
