How many years will we realistically have a skeleton LRT station with a pile of dirt where the Beer Store was? Why isn't this advancing faster? It's going to look really lame getting beefed up GO service only to dump people half a kilometre away from light rail.
From the 2015-2019 budget forecast (page 58) it shows $404,000 expenditure on the hub in 2015 and nothing beyond likely because the project will be largely handed off after this year:
In short, RFQ fall 2015, RFQ short list late 2015/early 2016, RFP proposals first half 2016, RFP selection & closure late 2016, construction begins 2017.
A Regional report (page 167) with rough timelines was produced in May 2014.
The Kitchener Post also had some rough timelines in an article last May.
I'm curious how they will design and implement the railway overpass over King when they don't fully know what will be built on top (train shed or not, etc.).
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
