TORONTO — Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario (IO) announced the selection of Stantec as lead technical advisor for the Hurontario Light Rail Transit (LRT) project.
The Hurontario LRT will run 18 kilometres from the Port Credit GO regional rail station in Mississauga near Lake Ontario to the Brampton Gateway Terminal with 19 stops, notes an April 9 release. The project includes an operations, maintenance and storage facility to be located at Highway 407.
The LRT will run electric trains along Hurontario Street in a dedicated guideway.
As lead technical advisor, Stantec will provide design, construction and commissioning oversight services throughout the project. Design review services have already commenced.
“We’re seeing increasing investment in transit projects in Ontario and in other North American markets,” said Gregg Cooke, vice-president and regional business leader, transportation at Stantec, in the statement. “Governments are looking to provide smart and efficient mobility systems to better move growing urban populations while reducing congestion and travel times. The Hurontario LRT will provide a sustainable transportation solution and economic opportunity to the citizens of Mississauga and Brampton for decades to come.”
Stantec will provide services in transportation engineering, civil engineering, environmental, rail systems, building engineering, urban planning and architecture from multiple offices in Ontario. The firm will also be supported locally by HDR.
Metrolinx and IO are delivering the Hurontario LRT through a public-private partnership contract. Project construction is expected to be completed in 2024.
