Construction to start late 2023
The new facility will:
- store 200 buses, with the capacity to add additional 100 spaces
- include a maintenance garage
- have additional administrative space & parking
Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2023 and conclude in late 2026.
In 2020, the City completed the design for a new bus maintenance and storage facility (MSF) at 281 Birch Avenue. The purpose of the project is to increase the Transit Division’s maintenance and storage capacity to accommodate its existing and growing fleet as the City continues to improve transit service. This new facility represents a significant investment in Hamilton and supports the City’s ongoing commitment to transit expansion, as outlined in the Ten-Year Local Transit Strategy.
Location: The Study Area is limited to the proposed facility site, located on lands known municipally as 2 Hillyard Street, 10 Hillyard Street, 70 Brant Street, 80 Brant Street, and the northern portion of 330 Wentworth Street West, as shown in Exhibit ES- 1. The site is bound by Brant Street to the north, the Birch Avenue hydro corridor to the east, Hillyard Street to the west, and the City of Hamilton’s Wentworth Street Operations Centre to the south.
