Did not realize Wilson was going two-way as well- feels like a long time coming. I should really brush up on what all the conversion plans are, as the TMP doesn't give a full picture.

The virtual open house was helpful- I actually had no idea they chose an asymmetric 3:1 design until very recently:

Hopeful: the MTO has given the go-ahead for Main St's two-way conversion of the 403 bridge and the RFP is being announced for LRT construction
Pessimistic: all bike lanes are being ripped up this summer and all of the city's lanes must be widened to accommodate Canadian-made F350's by next summer

Apparently it’s just about the West Harbour track connection. But maybe he’ll have something to say about increasing or improving service to West Harbour and beyond?

Tomorrow's announcement is to celebrate the activation of the West Harbour GO signals and switches connecting the station to eastbound Niagara-bound CN tracks. #HamOnt #yhmcc [contains quote post or other embedded content]

F-350s will be made in Canada in a few months so you may not be that far off..

More seriously - transportation-related issues for Hamilton that could see Ministerial announcements in the next 12 months:

- The City of Hamilton is currently trying to negotiate the upload of their municipal expressways
- The Hamilton LRT contract is continuing (i.e. RFQ closure, RFP issue, etc.)
- A highway widening on Highway 403 or the QEW
- Construction Start of the Highway 5/6 interchange in Waterdown
- Provincial support of the replacement of the Longwood Rd Bridge, which is no longer in the LRT scope but still needs to be replaced
- Service increase for GO to West Harbour
