ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

$1 billion for Hamilton LRT line, additional GO train station, Wynne promises

So will Waterloo now join Ottawa in getting on board the fullfair-funding-of-LRT-Stage-2 gravy train? 

Wynne opens LRT purse strings, Ottawa wants "fair" treatment
Quote:Now Ottawa has watched Hamilton and Mississauga get full financial backing from the province for their LRT projects, at $1 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively.

After the Hamilton announcement, officials at Ottawa City Hall were talking a lot about getting their "fair" amount for the next phase of LRT.

Mayor Jim Watson's spokesman Brook Simpson, "The city is currently preparing its submission to the province for the funding of Stage 2 of LRT. Mayor Watson and the city have enjoyed a good working relationship with the province during the first phase of LRT and expect Ottawa to get its fair share for Stage 2."
