The City of Hamilton will host an informal, drop-in public information meeting on its final proposals for rapid transit service on two crosstown lines on Monday, July 28.
On June 25, Hamilton City Council authorized staff to proceed with light rail transit (LRT) instead of bus rapid transit for the project. They also recommended that staff examine using the Claremont Access instead of James Mountain Road for the north-south line when it climbs the Niagara Escarpment.
You can review the latest proposal and offer your comments and ideas by attending the open house on July 28, or by completing the on-line survey here.
The July 28 information meeting takes place from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. at:
Lloyd D. Jackson Square,
Rooftop, beside the stage.
City Council will approve the final plans for the LRT at its meeting in September. If Council approves the plans, the City will submit them to Metrolinx to include funding for the project in its next capital budget.

The Hamilton rapid transit project is one of more than 50 transit initiatives that the province of Ontario has agreed to fund in its MoveOntario 2020 program.
