2023 actually seems pretty fast. For Ontario at least.

RFQ, RFP all over again? So May 2021 to 2023, including Financial Close?

Hey, I'll take it! Actually working on the LRT would be a huge step in the right direction from endlessly debating it and having certain councillors actively trying to sabotage it...

That would make sense, but in this case it really shouldnt take 2 years to get it off the ground even accounting for the RFQ, RFP and closing date. They could easily consolidate the dates into a shorter time frame.

^ Definitely agree. I do wonder if they want to be careful and fully vent all the bidders just to make sure they aren't involved in too many other projects that are taking on more than they can handle. But I'm not a construction industry expert.

LOL......pretty sure that's considered a bit rude..........
Maybe just stick to vetting them!
(hey I got caught on a typo today, these things happen)

Fingers crossed that Metrolinx can speed the contract by splitting it - awarding early contracts to do utility work or prepare the MSF site etc ahead of main construction.

It seems to be the way MX works now. Let's hope that continues as you said

Will Hamilton City Council actually agree to this? Or will it be another Brampton moment where they turn down the money and spend another decade or two trying to get it back?

I knew it. Hamilton is gonna turn down 3.4 billion in funding and end up with nothing.
A pox on all the Councillors and the Mayor there. If they put this to a referendum or try change this - they deserve nothing.
