Quote:If everything goes perfectly, GO Train construction could begin in Cambridge in six years.
That was part of the update on proposed Go Train service between Cambridge and Guelph, and onto Union Station, that was provided to Cambridge city council Tuesday by Oriana Aguas, project manager with the region’s transportation services department.
“There’s a lot of things that need to happen before that,” Aguas cautioned.
So in other words don't expect GO trains from Cambridge until 2040-2050 at the earliest. North America is a joke when it comes to transportation infrastructure timelines, it is actually getting out of control. I don't necessarily think that the proposed GO between cambridge and Guelph is the best option, but it should not take a decade+ to upgrade 18km of track.
I have a feeling like we will be talking about this plan in 2034 with no progress made.
