It’s been over seven years since the federal government committed over 750 million dollars to Kitchener’s two-way-all-day Go Train service, and ten years since the provincial government originally committed to the project – so why the long wait?
Radio Waterloo spoke with conservative Member of Provincial Parliament for Kitchener-Conestoga Mike Harris about what the hold up is, and when riders can expect to see this service. He outlined the challenges faced when implementing the project and says he is optimistic about the progress he expects to see this coming year.
We also hear from Kitchener-Centre MP Mike Morrice who has been advocating for the project for two years, and transit, and Metrolinx, the organization responsible for GO Transit, about the progress on the Kitchener portion of the line.
