Jun 28, 2022
People have questions and Metrolinx has answers.
This summer, Peel residents can find the Metrolinx community engagement team out at various events and libraries to talk about the Hazel McCallion light rail transit (LRT) line – previously known as the Hurontario LRT.
The team will be at more than 20 events across Peel Region this summer, handing out paper trains, pens and talking transit.
You can find them at community centers, GO stations and even local movie nights.
They recently went to Port Credit GO Station to share information, answer questions and hear people’s comments. One passerby had this to say: “The Hurontario LRT construction is like going to the dentist – you don’t enjoy sitting in the chair while they’re doing work in your mouth, but after it’s done, you realize it’s for the better.”
