City Council Decision
City Council on March 8 and 9, 2011, adopted the following:
1. City Council request that the Minister of Transportation consult with international rail electrification experts to determine whether electrification of the Air Rail Link can be completed by 2015.
2. City Council request that if rail electrification experts are of the opinion that the Air Rail Link cannot be built to operate as electric in time for the Pan Am Games, alternative transportation plans be made to transport people from the airport to Union Station for the duration of the Games to avoid added costs of converting from diesel operation to electric.
