TheA-Line is a proposedrapid transit line running along James Street in downtown and Upper James Street on the escarpment inHamilton,Ontario.[1] It is part of Hamilton's formerly proposedBLAST network, now known as the(Re)envision the HSR project, involving five other rapid transit corridors. It was previously identified byMetrolinx in its regional transportation planThe Big Move as a project to be completed by 2023.[1] The route is currently served byHamilton Street Railway'sRoute 20 A-Line Express bus.[2]

History

[edit]

During planning, both bus rapid transit (BRT) andlight rail transit (LRT) were considered for the corridor. On May 26, 2015, theGovernment of Ontario announced theB-Line LRT would be constructed betweenMcMaster University and Queenston Circle, as well as a short LRT segment of the A-Line to provide a direct connection toWest Harbour GO Station from King Street.[3][4]

On February 2, 2017, the province removed the 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) A-Line LRT spur from the B-Line construction scope. In its stead, the province proposed advancing the planning and environmental assessment of a 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) BRT along the entire A-Line corridor, from Hamilton's waterfront toHamilton Airport.[5]

On March 8, 2018, Metrolinx released the 2041 Regional Transportation Plan (2041 RTP) for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), superseding the previous RTP completed ten years earlier (The Big Move). The 2041 RTP recommends removing the waterfront portion of the corridor and constructing a BRT from West Harbour GO to Rymal Road and a "Priority Bus" from Rymal Road to Hamilton Airport.[6]

On July 19, 2021, the federal, provincial, and municipal governments announced funding for upgrades to the A-Line corridor. The proposed works include construction of five queue jump lines and 17 km (11 mi) of sidewalks, implementation of transit signal priority measures at select intersections, and improvements to approximately 19 transit stops along the corridor.[7] Construction of dedicated BRT lanes were not included in the funding announcement.
