Glad to hear they've been starting to get aggressive with it over there, and have been taking the steps to finally get the garage into fruition. A new garage is more badly needed in Hamilton compared to the situation in Mississauga.It was formally proposed as part of the Rapid Ready fleet strategy in 2013, and since then the City has procured land, undertaken an EA, completed (or nearly completed) detailed design, have funds allocated in the municipal capital budget and DC background study, have applied for $190 million in federal funding, have a Contract Administrator on-board once the money comes through, and is undertaking works to improve the primary access to address flooding and substandard bridge clearance. Nearly all of this has happened in the last three years. I'd argue that they're moving forward fairly aggressively.
Thats not to say that Mississauga doesn't need a new garage, because they will with the service expansion plans that have been planning for a while now.
