Ontario and Metrolinx are killing the James Street North LRT spur line and replacing it with a 16-kilometre bus rapid transit (BRT) line connecting the waterfront with the airport. The BRT system could be a mixture of dedicated lanes and buses sharing traffic with other vehicles, Del Duca said. Eisenberger hopes it doesn't cost the city anything, since the LRT spur line was likely more expensive than BRT will be. The province is issuing the request for qualifications (RFQ) Thursday for someone to design, build and operate Hamilton's LRT system, Del Duca said. Del Duca also made a transit announcement in Brantford on Thursday morning.
