Brampton Gateway Terminal is a Brampton Transit bus station serving the south-central and western areas of Brampton, Ontario. It is located on the north-west corner of Steeles Avenue and Main Street adjoining the Shoppers World Brampton shopping centre. The terminal opened on 26 November 2012 to replace the Shoppers World Terminal on the south-west side of the shopping centre. ==History== In 2009, the manager of Land Use Policy recommended that, with the addition of Acceleride (later Züm) and a proposed Hurontario-Main Street LRT, there was a "demonstrated need" to move the terminal to the corner of Hurontario and Steeles. Such a move would allow less diversion time from the route to the station, and for a larger station.〔David Waters, editor, "(Recommendation Report: Proposed Interim Control By-Law, Hurontario Corridor/Main Street Study Wards 1, 3, 4, 5 )", ''City of Brampton'', March 16, 2009.〕 As a stop on the potential LRT, the terminal is considered part of the Hurontario Higher Order Transit corridor.〔Henrik Zbogar, "(Status Report: Metrolinx Draft Mobility Hub Guideline )", File P40 METR (MH), City of Brampton, December 23, 2010〕 Expropriations were made to allow for the terminal to be moved;〔Ann Pritchard, "(Expropriation of property for the Shoppers World Transit Terminal Upgrade, Ward 4 )", File AG-08-200, City of Brampton, January 5, 2010.〕 this stands in contrast to the previous location which was leased from Shoppers World Brampton.〔http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/Brampton%20Environmental%20Adv%20Commitee/20110208bepac_E3.pdf〕 As of spring 2010, the terminal redesign and relocation was scheduled to coincide with the Zum Main Street launch in fall 2011;〔http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/CouncilOffice/Documents/Ward-Reports/2010Ward%202-6%20Spg-Sum.pdf〕 it was listed as a 2011 service initiative in the agency's 2011 Current and Capital Budget.〔http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/budget/2011%20Budget/Works%20and%20Transportation.pdf〕 Contract 2011-095, for the construction of the new terminal, its amenities, plus road and intersection improvements was awarded to Graham Construction and Engineering. The lowest tender, the contract was worth $10,190,340.〔Page 8: http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/City%20Council%202010/20110914ccmn.pdf〕 Earlier estimates presumed an $8.3 million cost. A City report placed the "higher actual costs" on a limited construction time-line and tendering the contract during the summer.〔http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/City%20Council%202010/20110914cc_Q9.pdf〕 The terminal is on the proposed light rail corridor along Main and Hurontario, from the Brampton Downtown Terminal (including the Brampton GO Station) to Port Credit GO Station, passing the Clarkson GO Station. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brampton Gateway Terminal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
