One concept image depicts a future King Street East underpass, which will allow light rail vehicles to travel under an existing rail line.

A second concept image shows the stop at Parkdale Avenue in Hamilton’s east end.

The updated maps and drawings are the first to be revealed since 2017, and are subject to change.

These stops are are a long way off from being realized, with request for proposals having just recently been released for the first major Hamilton LRT contract.
