Subject: Transit Project Assessment – Public Consultation Centres
 
The Regional Municipality of Waterloo is proposing a rapid transit system to enhance transit service in high-demand transportation corridors and to guide and manage long-term growth within the Region.
Stage 1 of the rapid transit system consists of light rail transit from Conestoga Mall to Fairview Park Mall and adapted bus rapid transit from Fairview Park Mall to the Ainslie Street Terminal. 

As part of the Ontario Regulation 231/08 Transit Project Assessment Process, the Region’s rapid transit team is hosting three public consultation centres. Information will be available at the centres regarding potential impacts that the rapid transit project may have on the environment.  Public comments and feedback will be collected at each centre.

Tuesday January 24, 2012, 3 to 8 p.m.
First United Church, 16 William Street West, Waterloo

Wednesday January 25, 2012, 3 to 8 p.m.
The Region of Waterloo, 150 Frederick Street, Kitchener

Thursday January 26, 2012, 3 to 8 p.m.
The United Kingdom Club, 35 International Village Drive, Cambridge

All locations are accessible by transit; please see www.grt.ca or call 519-585-7555 for routes and schedules. These events are also accessible for people with disabilities. If you require assistance to participate or to access information in alternative formats, please contact the Rapid Transit Infoline below at least five days prior to the consultation that you plan to attend. 

All comments and information received from individuals, stakeholder groups and agencies regarding this project are being collected to assist the Region of Waterloo in making decisions on this project.  The project follows Ontario’s Transit Project Assessment Process.  Under the Environmental Assessment Act and the Municipal Act, personal information such as name, address, telephone number, and property location that may be included in a submission becomes part of the public record and may be released if requested.  If you have questions about the potential release of your information or about the collection of personal information, contact the Rapid Transit Infoline below.
