C062-2024
Motion that a letter be sent to Brampton MPs and MPPs on behalf of Council in support of completion of the Queen Street BRT as expeditiously as possible.
Background
A second Public Information Centre for the Queen BRT was supposed to happen in Q4 2023 but was delayed due to complexities related to corridor segment around Centre St and McLaughlin. Once PIC is complete next step would be Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) for Q2 2025. This is Ontario's streamlined environmental assessment process. Completion of TPAP scheduled for Q4 2025. After that the Province looks at funding which includes the larger design process.
Councillor Singh asked if a letter from Council would help to expedite the process. Staff agreed this would be appropriate.
