The Hurontario-Main LRT is a planned light rail line in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, that extends into Brampton, Ontario. This line will run along Hurontario Street. Due to the involvement of two transit agencies in this project, it is currently unclear which agency will operate the line; however, it is likely that Metrolinx will own the line. The Cities of Mississauga and Brampton have identified higher-order transit along Hurontario due to the chronic overcrowding situation in Mississauga's (and the surburban Greater Toronto Area's) busiest bus route, 19 Hurontario, which carries more than 25,000 passengers a day, combined with the massive-scale high-density development proposals along the corridor and the anticipated high growth in both cities. They have identified three options: light rail transit for the entire corridor, bus rapid transit for the entire corridor, or a combination of both (light rail south of Mississauga City Centre and bus rapid transit north of it). After three public information sessions, the residents of both cities agreed overwhelmingly in favour of light rail transit along the full length of the corridor. The LRT line will cost around $1.6 billion. On April 21, 2015, the Government of Ontario announced that it would completely fund the line, not including local capital costs such as utility relocations, surface upgrades, and landscaping. On October 28, 2015, Brampton City Council voted against allowing the Hurontario-Main LRT to run along the Main Street portion of the route because of concerns of low ridership projections and because of preferences for an LRT along some alternate route. Thus, the LRT will terminate at Steeles Avenue (Brampton Gateway Terminal) instead of Brampton GO Station. Construction is expected to commence in 2018, and the line is projected to enter service in 2022.〔 ==Route== The Hurontario LRT line will run for in 40 minutes,〔http://lrt-mississauga.brampton.ca/EN/Public-Consultation/Documents/Public_Informattion_Centre_2/HLRT%20Boards_May_14_2013_Final_sm1.pdf〕 estimated to account for 35.2 million trips in 2031.〔〔http://lrt-mississauga.brampton.ca/EN/Public-Consultation/Documents/Public_Information_Centre_1/HMLRT_Display_Boards_PIC1_June%2025_26_2012.pdf〕 The LRT line will run from the intersection of Port Street and Elizabeth Street for better access in the waterfront. The line will then turn left at St. Lawrence Drive. North of Lakeshore Road, St. Lawrence Drive becomes Hurontario Street. At Park Street, the LRT will directly connect to a relocated Port Credit GO Station. The line continues northward crossing Queen Elizabeth Way. At Dundas Street, it will connect to a proposed rapid transit line (either a BRT or an LRT). The LRT will indirectly connect to Cooksville GO Station using the LRT stop at John Street. The line continues northward until it splits into two branches between Burnhamthorpe Road and Rathburn Road: * Downtown alignment: from Hurontario Street, the LRT will turn left at Burnhamthorpe Road, turn right at Duke of York Boulevard, then turn right at Rathburn Road, then turn left and meet up with the other branch at a location yet to be determined. This branch serves almost all of Mississauga City Centre using a walking distance of , including those who are transferring to the BRT and City Centre Transit Terminal. * Mainline alignment: the route continues straight along Hurontario Street. This branch serves passengers working in the offices in the eastern part of the City Centre and those who want to bypass Downtown Mississauga and allow faster through travel along Hurontario Street. From Rathburn Road, the LRT will bridge over Highway 403. At Highway 407, the LRT will connect to GO Transit's proposed Highway 407 Transitway. The line will then end at Steeles Avenue where it connects to Shoppers World Terminal to connect with Züm Steeles BRT line. 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「Hurontario-Main LRT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
