Mycyk brought forward an alternative he’d like to see considered.

It would pass by the Toyota Manufacturing plant and other industries, following the CP line, with a stop at Sportsworld. From there, the line would run elevated along Highway 401 and cross over to the Smart Centre big box area at Hespeler and Pinebush roads. It would then go along Conestoga Boulevard to Can-Amera Parkway and on to Hespeler Road, skirt Dumfries Conservation Area and take the abandoned railway line to Cambridge Memorial Hospital.

At that point it would follow the grade separation at Hespeler Road into the Norfolk Avenue area, under the CP tracks and along the walkway into downtown Galt and the Ainslie Street terminal.

“We have an opportunity to do something really, really unique,” he said, noting the suggested route runs through the city’s industrial area in the north, allows for “no major expropriation” and connects with shortlisted sites for the planned recreation multiplex. “People will see this and they will see there’s something progressive going on here.”
