Last Friday, Government of Canada and city representatives officially opened the Eastgate Square Transit Terminal. In support of Hamilton's Transportation Master Plan, which includes a 25-year growth initiative to increase transit ridership, the terminal provides accommodation for up to eight buses and transit passengers with fully accessible platforms, modern, low maintenance shelters and high security lighting. A federal investment of $1.6 million was provided for the terminal renovation through the Public Transit Capital Trust. "It's bright, it's safe and I can't speak highly enough about it," said Ward 10 councillor Maria Pearson.
