The region of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, has voted in favour a three-year extension to its existing light rail transit (LRT) contract with WSP and Parsons Brinckerhoff.
The CA$818m (USD 655.6m), two-stage project will bring light rail to the Waterloo region (Canada), which includes the cities of Cambridge, Waterloo and Kitchener. Stage 1 is a 36 km corridor that features a 19 km LRT system, called Ion, linking the urban cores of Kitchener and Waterloo, plus 17 km of adapted bus rapid transit (BRT) connecting the southern terminus of the LRT system in Kitchener to Cambridge. In Stage 2, the BRT service will be converted to LRT.
As the Region’s general engineering consultant, Parsons Brinckerhoff and WSP are responsible for developing the output specifications for procurement, supporting the public-private partnership procurement process, and for managing the overall programme, including construction management services for the client.
