Kitchener Kitchener Central Transit Hub | ?m | 2s | Metrolinx | WZMH

I don't get it.
The lot that was just bought [ at Duke and Victoria] is a long way east of the proposed new terminal. It sits between the current GO-VIA station and the proposed new one.
Why is this land listed as being part of the new terminal? Or is it simply some kind of density upzone or somesuch?

My understanding is that the property at the corner of Weber & Victoria was intended to be used for construction staging and as a parking lot. But since the courts ruled that the homeless encampment couldn't be forcefully evicted, the Region needed to buy this property instead to advance this project.

See page 4:

Could they have used this money to house these people instead? Who knows... But as a KW resident, I'm very happy to see this project finally move forward.

Ah.
Thanks!
 
A report on the December 03, 2024 'Sustainability, Infrastructure, and Development Committee Agenda' is published regarding the proposed central station. I have attached the link to the agenda. The reports are found within section 7.1 of the agenda. Constriction is now set to begin in 2025, and the HUB is to be completed in 2029. Will we ever see this project get off the ground? However, exciting steps are being taken with the City of Kitchener, giving the Region the assumption of Duke St, between Briethaupt and Victoria! : https://pub-regionofwaterloo.escrib...-b07a-cfd9214f8d80&Agenda=Agenda&lang=English
