GHOST TRACKS

I know this has been going off topic but Hamilton does operate a hydro electric generating facility at the Greenup Dam and has been moving forward with project development of another generating facility at the Meldahl Dam. One interesting thing to ponder is that the streetcar or light rail will likely not have a net positive effect on greenhouse gas reductions in part because the coal fired emissions from the electrical traction power offset the reduction in exhaust by cars that are forecast to be taken off the road by new transit riders.

I wonder how much of an effort is being made to integrate the accommodation for the potential streetcar tracks and traction power system in the street grid being constructed or reconstructed for the current work on the Banks project. It seams as if you would not want to do that work twice. But to commit you would need to make a decision now
