One of the benefits of large construction projects is the opportunity to coordinate other projects. In this way, major infrastructure works can be worked on within the same window, minimizing the amount of time and disruption required to complete them all. Take for example: Water mains.
Fight Gridlock has received confirmation of work proposed by the Region of Peel for replacement of watermain and sanitary sewers directly in the downtown core. This proposal has been in the pre-design stage for about two years. Understanding that the LRT is under consideration, The Region has slowed design progress on these replacements with two intents. First, to ensure that designs for all parties are coordinated, so that unnecessary removals are minimized. Second, to evaluate opportunities for coordinating works and contracts.
To reiterate: The Region of Peel has confirmed that there is significant construction planned within downtown Brampton by numerous parties. The Region of Peel will not just coordinate within itself (water and sanitary sewer) but with other utilities and Metrolinx to pursue opportunities to combine works.
Like it or not, disruption is coming to downtown Brampton. Why not get an LRT out of it?
