Inter-regional transportation terminal? Is that just for Busses and LRT or are there going to be other Go train lines running out of Hamilton?City eyes Stoney Creek GO hub

Hamilton is proposing to purchase a parcel of land in Stoney Creek that could eventually result in the construction of an inter-regional transportation terminal.
Members of the public works committee this week approved a recommendation for the city to negotiate with the Ontario Realty Corporation to buy 3.25 hectares of land at Winona Road and South Service Road in Stoney Creek. The ORC is a provincial crown corporation. No price for the property was discussed.
A city report last year identified the southwest quadrant of Fifty Road and the South Service Road as an “ideal location†of a multi-modal, inter-regional transportation terminal.
The idea would be for GO Transit to extend service to the location, which would serve as a gateway to the Niagara Region. The area could also serve as the eastern terminal for the city’s proposed B-Line rapid transit service.
A transportation terminal would also add to an $85-million commercial retail complex proposed for the area by Penady Developments.
A public meeting on the development company’s proposal was held at Stoney Creek Municipal Service Centre May 6.
The developer is waiting for a number of studies, including a transportation master plan and a drainage plan, to be completed before seeking approval for a rezoning application.
I have to agree there. You'd think that they'd start weekend service first on routes that currently have no weekend service, and which they have already announced the long-term intent of starting weekend service, rather than starting weekend service on a route that wasn't even in their plans recently, and that they haven't got daily service on yet.I guess what I am saying is that I agree with the sentiment of weekend service just not the prioritzation of it.
I'm of the opinion that if an opportunity to complete a project arises we should take it, regardless of the priority.
I would rather they compete three or four little projects then do nothing while we wait for funding/negotiations/EAs for the big projects.
