The Cities of Mississauga and Brampton are hosting public information meetings to review study findings and assess rapid transit options and station locations on the Hurontario-Main Street Corridor.
The Hurontario-Main Street Study is focused on rapid transit, land use and urban design from Port Credit to downtown Brampton. The study is part of the Metrolinx Regional Transportation Plan, THE BIG MOVE, that identified the corridor as one of 15 priority projects for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
