A new bus route extension could soon take hundreds of residents directly to the Cultural District.
The proposed Route 4 change — announced by Trinity Metro in November — was initially planned to start in January. That plan was delayed until February so the agency could get more feedback from residents, officials said.
The service, which begins in the Stop Six area, will take residents on the east and south sides of the city to Fort Worth museums, venues, restaurants and stores west of downtown.
“This change strengthens east-west connectivity and creates a more seamless link between key community hubs,” Tara Crawford, Trinity Metro’s vice president of planning, said in a statement.
Trinity Metro held public meetings on the proposed route change in October and December. Information from those meetings is expected to be shared with Trinity Metro’s board of directors at a meeting on Jan. 20, Crawford said.
The transit agency plans to implement the changes in February.
Route 4 — which had an average of about 450 daily riders each month — would move from a 15-minute schedule to run every 30 minutes under the proposal. Route 2 would also be slightly adjusted, officials said.

Route 4 starts in the Stop Six area near Bunche Park and Dunbar High School before it runs to East Rosedale Street past Texas Wesleyan University. The bus then goes west to Evans and Allen avenues before it cuts through the Medical District and the West Magnolia Avenue entertainment zone before heading north on 8th Avenue to West Rosedale.
From West Rosedale, the bus goes west to 12th Street before turning around near Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center Fort Worth.
Under the proposed change, Route 4 would extend west on West Rosedale and cross under the Chisholm Trail Parkway and Interstate 30 to Montgomery Street. The bus would then head north, passing the Montgomery Street Antique Mall, Dickies Arena, National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, the Amon G. Carter Museum of American Art and UNT Health Fort Worth before reaching Camp Bowie Boulevard.
From there, the bus would travel east on Camp Bowie past the Kimbell Art Museum and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth; then go south on University; and then turn west on West Lancaster Avenue past the Will Rogers Memorial Center on the way back to Montgomery.
A start date for the proposed change has not been announced.
