How do you know that, when the project is not yet built!?

Well my reference was to the build process, I am sure once it is built (thinking 2032 before up and running), it will be very quick to traverse from Mac to Eastgate. Also by then, I am sure there will be proposals to extend to Dundas (at least University Plaza where it should have started in the west) and maybe to Centennial Go Station on the east.

This caught my eye too.

It seems like a lot of this work can start sooner rather than later, especially if a design for a 2-way Main St exists and just needs to be implemented. That is probably the first thing they’d want to do, actually, since it’s simple and isolated from most of the rest of the project (being on King).

Would really love to know when any of this would get started, though.

It's just the segment of Main where the LRT will run which is being converted, within this contract. The rest of Main will come later

I did see somewhere that the City of Hamilton's Transportation Department scope for Main Street 2-way is Dundurn to King, so it seems the design scope for West of Dundurn has been handed over to this project. The City of Hamilton section may be staged to happen before or at a similar time to this contract, depending on funding, I assume.

This makes more sense.

Council is pushing for Main Conversion ASAP - if anything, the LRT portion will come after the rest.

IIRC Council direction was to begin the conversion in 2026 and finish it up by 2028. This conflicts with this contract, which Metrolinx has indicated that major works won't even begin until 2028.
