GO Transit

[bravado]

Attended the first in-person meeting about this tonight at Cambridge City Hall. I hope the slides are uploaded to the site later in better quality.

Key points:
1. 6 year timeline for upgrading the existing rail and building the stations
2 Using electric units
3. 4 separate options for timing/level of service
4. Surprisingly revenue-positive, but this is always dubious to me
5. It sounds like the GO station will be adjacent to or even integrated with the possible ION station.
6. The Milton line sounds like an immense job to upgrade the tracks and negotiate with CP rail, it was really flatly rejected a bunch of times in Q&A time
7. Surprising turnout of all 3 Cambridge regional councillors and about half of city council
8. This sounds like a rather small and easily achieved project that gets to utilize all the money spent on the interminable Kitchener upgrades
