arienc,

A couple of thoughts:

  1. The mayor said the other day that if MIP works, the city may adjust phase one of LRT to consist of a line from James North GO Station down to King and over to McMaster. This would put all 3 of our Pan Am facilities on one LRT ride. Velodrome at WH has the new GO Station. MIP stadium has a stop at Main/Longwood. McMaster swimming would be end of the line.

  2. Currently the Hunter GO train veers east at Dundurn/Hunter where the tracks split. For PanAm's, a temporary GO Station could be set up at MIP and have PanAm trains veer west at Dundurn/Hunter into MIP. Long term there is potential for a permanent station at MIP.

  3. Don't discount GO buses, which will have HOV lanes to travel in by 2015. And of course for local residents, HSR, biking and walking is an option for all 3 of our venues. If we locate a stadium at Confederation Park everyone will need to come by car.
