The Ford government is extending the Hazel McCallion LRT into downtown Mississauga and Brampton, reversing previous cuts. Criticized for transit project delays, the move is seen as a “game changer” by local officials. Brampton considers a hybrid LRT extension to the GO station despite rising tunnel costs to $2.8 billion over the $933 million above-ground option. This expansion aims to boost connectivity, increase ridership, and improve transit efficiency across the region.
