By Brock Weir Metrolinx, the provincial body that operates GO Transit, has
expanded upon the work they are carrying out in the Hydro Corridor near the
northwest corner of Bayview Avenue and St. John's Sideroad. Last week, The Auroran reported on the concerns of several
homeowners in the Pinnacle Trail area abutting the Hydro Corridor who recently
noticed staking work carried out just 18
feet from their back fences. Responding to a media request
for clarification, Metrolinx spokesperson Nitish Bissonauth says they are in
the process of “procuring the GO Expansion contract which will allow us to
quadruple GO Rail service and electrify core segments of the GO network,
including on the Barrie corridor between Union Station in Toronto and Allandale
Waterfront Station in Barrie.” “While the procurement process
is underway, we're proactively getting our infrastructure ready for
electrification,” he said. “Hydro One's work will enable eventual construction
of electrification infrastructure, be it overhead catenary system, hydrail, or
any other technology out on the market. The winning bidder will determine which
electrification technology will be used. “Metrolinx has an
extensive community relations strategy, with dedicated community relations
staff members that build relationships with local residents, community groups,
and stakeholders all over the GO network. Over the lifecycle of this
project, Metrolinx will be working collaboratively with Hydro One to
ensure that the community is kept informed every step of the way.”
