I do not support an LRT on Main/Hurontario Street. I currently commute, which should be 25 mins to/from Winston Churchill and 403, if I take the 410 during rush hour it is a 90 minute commute. I am now taking back roads to avoid 410 and at some point I am taking Main/Hurontario, which is already over congested. We can't afford to use Hwy 10 lanes for the LRT. Another route must be considered. We need to look at our infrastructure, those of us who commute by car, will continue to commute by car due to location. The traffic in Brampton is horrible. Please do not allow more builders until the infrastructure can support people/cars. Please open Go Transit 7 days a week, so we can take our cars off the road and ride to Toronto.

This LRT will be a live power rail in our busy downtown area; we don't have a dedicated route for cyclists, why for this LTR.

I do agree with the reason for running the LRT through Brampton........but NOT along Main St.! There is all ready congestion there....... accidents because people use it like a major highway. It will affect turnouts for four corner events...

Can't see the benefit to Brampton of a train connecting it to Mississauga.

The LRT will definitely be an asset to the city of Brampton but would not be if it was to go through the main downtown core going along Main Street. Right railway, wrong route.

Transit expansion should be directed towards the areas in Brampton boasting the biggest growth, all of which exist outside the city’s core.

Money spent on 7 day Go Train into Toronto would help Brampton much more then some silly little train coming up main street . Port Credit to Bramptons 4 corners --why???

The planned route will cause so much disruption to activities on the downtown core which seems totally unnecessary. There are already excellent Zum buses going along Hwy 10 and it would make perfect sense to extend the route from Square One down to Port Credit

An overall benefit has not been shared with the community. The history of Brampton needs to be respected.

Come on Coucillors. Represent Brampton. Do the right thing. Prevent the LRT from going thru downtown. Vote for an alternate route

Minister Del Duca has made it clear that the province will not pay to "go around or go underground". What this effectively asks for is an unnecessary property tax increase for an inferior service alignment.

I am Not in favour of the LRT running north on Main street passed Steeles Ave. Need to find an alternative route.

Please do not run an LRT north of Steeles along Main Street. Alternate routes can be found that could serve ALL Bramptonians better, like west/east along Steeles and up McLaughlin/Kennedy. Please leave Brampton's historic area as is before it is irrevocably gone. LRT will not help Four Corners.
Must look at alternate routes
