Excellent article, John!

For those interested in reading further, there is a preliminary study document listing multiple options of MSF (Maintenance & Storage Facility) locations, cost estimates, and routes between the B-Line and MSF.

MSF Connecting Track Route Option Evaluation -- June 2012) (hamilton.ca)

Also, we are possibly planning to add slides for the MSF to our existing Hamilton LRT presentation that we had at the Sherman Hub -- we are invited to some other Hubs in March to do this presentation again which captivated the audience. For those not aware, here's our presentation (by me and Alain H Bureau) at the monthly Sherman Hub Community Meeting:

(Keep an eye on the @ham_LRT twitter feed and Hamilton LRT facebook page for announcements of upcoming presentations, including Crown Point Hub in March, and other Hubs.)

(To John Thompson) -- You have some very interesting MSF knowledge to share! I didn't know about the history, such as the 1990s opening of the complex, for example. Given your interest and knowledge on the LRT, feel free get in contact with the Hamilton LRT citizen advocacy team at contact@hamiltonLRT.ca (or myself at mark@hamiltonLRT.ca). Your knowledge of the MSF history would be very interesting to all of us, and in keeping the presentation up to date as much as is feasibly possible, prior to official announcements (coming from City/Metrolinx later this year, possibly May). The MSF facility was a question that was often asked at the community, given many of the residents live near the potential MSF.
