#ICYMI check out the future Parkdale stop on the Hamilton LRT! The stop will be steps away from Parkdale Park, Pat Quinn Arena and will provide easy connections to HSR buses.

#ICYMI check out the future King Street East underpass! This will allow the light rail vehicles (LRVs) to travel under the existing CPKC rail line. Separating the lines will ensure reliable, continuous movement along the LRT route and a smooth convenient journey for customers.

With enabling works and procurement now underway, Metrolinx is one step closer to bringing 14 kilometres of fast, frequent light rail transit through Hamilton’s downtown core.
