TWO more Public Information Centres (PICs) are being held concerning the BUS RAPID TRANSIT ON SIMCOE ST in Oshawa:
Monday, October 30, from 6 to 8 p.m. Jubilee Pavilion Banquet and Conference Centre, 55 Lakeview Park Ave, Oshawa
and
Wednesday, November 01, from 6 to 8 p.m. Oshawa Golf and Curling Club, 160 Alexandra St., Oshawa
The Region received around $6M from the federal government to investigate and present a supportive rapid transit service strategy that will maximize infrastructure investment along Simcoe Street and the Initial Business Case (IBC) that will support future funding applications.
These PICs will allow the Region to gather feedback from the public on the preferred rapid transit concept plan. The same information will be presented at both events for members of the public to drop in and learn more.
It seems the anticipated time and costs between 2 choices from the preliminary 10 km phase (from the planned new GO stop) to Winchester Rd. are:
1/ for 2 lanes designated solely for buses on Simcoe St. - $400M and anticipated to take 5 to 7 years
2/ for a 10 km gondola with 10 stops (one every 1km) - $500M anticipated to take 3 to 5 years
