HURONTARIO LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT

Information as of April 2020

Median Removals on Hurontario between and Matheson Boulevard Beginning Early May 2020

What is the Hurontario Light Rail Transit Project? The Hurontario LRT will be an 18-kilometre, 19-stop light rail service connecting people from the GO station to the Gateway Terminal. The Hurontario LRT will connect with the Port Credit and GO stations, Transitway, MiWay and Züm transit lines.

What work is taking place? To prepare for future construction of the Hurontario LRT, crews will remove existing medians along , between Dundas Street and Matheson Boulevard.

Once medians have been removed, the area will be converted to roadway, reducing the amount of lane reductions required during major construction.

Timing • Work is scheduled to begin in early May 2020 and will be completed approximately in three months’ time. • Work will occur between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. • Work could be rescheduled and delayed due to weather conditions or any unforeseen circumstances.

What to Expect • Every effort will be made to minimize disruptions. • Access to properties will always be maintained through at least one driveway. • Residents and businesses near the work site can expect to hear noise caused by trucks, excavators and mini loaders.
