Regional Councillor Brampton Wards 1 & 5

Push for historic funding secures tunnelled LRT, transforming Brampton’s Downtown

The Ontario government announced the extension of the Hazel McCallion Line to downtown Brampton via a four-kilometre underground tunnel. This project will enhance connectivity, reduce congestion, and support sustainable transit with near-zero emissions. It is expected to spur economic growth, creating 47,000 housing units and 17,000 jobs, while revitalizing Brampton’s downtown core. As part of Ontario’s $70 billion transit expansion, the project ensures seamless integration with regional systems and positions Brampton as a hub for innovation and urban renewal.
