Progress is being made on the new transit transfer terminal at the Edelbrock Centre and developing a new route structure for Orangeville transit.
An update on the project was provided by Orangeville’s manager of operations and development, John Lackey during Council’s regular meeting last Monday (Dec. 10).
He said a Request for Quotation started Nov. 12 and the Town was expecting to get a figure last Tuesday (Dec. 10)
Lackey said it is expected that the quotations will be fully reviewed and a consultant would be selected around this time – the middle of December.
By the end of this month, he noted that he’s anticipating route structure information, to assess additional and hybrid bus routes.
Completion of the final design of the transit transfer terminal is slated for mid-March of next year, with approvals and tendering expected from April to May.
Construction will then start in June or July and it will be operational in August.
