Drivers, take note: your commute downtown is about to get a bit more complicated.

The city’s public works committee approved a pilot project Monday that will see a lane of King Street between John and Bay streets dedicated solely to buses during rush hour.

The one-year pilot, set to launch in April, will ban drivers from the curb lane along King between 7 and 9 a.m., and 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

It also means drivers won’t be able to make right turns during peak traffic hours at several intersections, including at Hughson, James and Locke streets. Delivery vehicles and taxis will also be prohibited from idling in the bus-only lanes at peak hours.

Gerry Davis, head of public works, said the city will let drivers know about the changes well in advance.
