About this Study

This study is about creating a new vision for Hurontario/Main Street that will examine ways to enhance our travel choices, economic vitality, recreation and entertainment options and overall quality of life.

We will:

• Examine how rapid transit can be introduced along Hurontario/Main Street between Port Credit and downtown Brampton.

This vision provides the groundwork for more detailed analysis of transit, land use and urban design alternatives to be completed in the next stage of the project.
