NEW PRIORITY LIGHT RAIL PLAN

May 27, 2008

Committee voted in favour of amending the April 16 Recommended Rapid Transit Network (Option 4) such that LRT service is extended to Scotiabank Place and Trim Road (as shown by the dotted red lines in the map below) subject to the following criteria:

  • Development of transit corridors inside Greenbelt first

  • Business case supports return on rail investment (ridership, capital and operating costs)

  • Achieving a minimum density target (to be determined in the updated Official Plan)

  • Availability of funding

NEW PRIORITY LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT PLAN

Detailed costs for this Priority Network are being developed and will be included in the implementation plan presented in the fall.
