Commuters relying on Plymouth Metrolink services, take note: The St. Philip Park and Ride will be off-limits today. This is due to events scheduled at St. Philip the Deacon Lutheran Church, meaning that riders usually boarding at this location will have to reroute their start to Messiah United Methodist Church, found at 17805 County Road 6 – specifically, the east side of the parking lot which is closest to Olive Lane.

Detours have been announced, with Route 776 reshaping its path for the day: morning buses that normally charter the east along Highway 101 will instead detour right on County Road 6, then make a left on Olive Lane N., followed by a left on 14th Avenue N., finally a right will take them back to Highway 101 to continue their usual trek; the evening westbound buses will echo this change, inverting the order of streets, beginning with a left on 14th Avenue N., a right on Olive Lane N., another right on County Road 6, and lastly a left guide them to Highway 101 to rejoin the regular route.

The shift in parking and bus stops is a temporary change, and normal operations are expected to resume following the one-day interruption. For those who may find the detour information challenging, Transit Administrator Nur Kasin can be contacted for interpretation assistance at 763-509-5013 or via email at [email protected]. Additional queries regarding Plymouth Metrolink services can be addressed to [email protected] or by phone at 763-509-5535, as detailed in the announcement posted on Plymouth's official city website.

While the detour may cause some initial confusion, alter your schedules accordingly to avoid any undue delay in your commutes. Rest assured, route and parking logistics have been carefully planned to minimize disruption this upcoming Friday, ensuring that riders can still reach their destinations with minimal fuss despite the Park and Ride closure.
