This Christmas, Santa will bestow a University to Canada`S 9th Largest City !
Ryerson University has selected downtown Brampton as the epicenter of it`s new multi faculty campus. The university`s primary focus will be on health & medical research sciences with a mindset to incubate with Brampton`s new developing health center campus located near & around the grounds of the new Peel Memorial day surgery hospital.
The University has promised to build anew but also to mimic their successful downtown partnership with private landowners. The campus will be within walking distance to the Brampton Go station.
Metrolinx promises to have 15 minute service 14 hours per day, throughout the week within 2 years.
If only the proposed Port Credit LRT line could interconnect with the existing Brampton Go Train service. Thousands of Students & most importantly the general populace would then have a fully integrated public transportation system, capable of taking them to the 4 corners of the GTA & beyond in a timely manner..
This type of progressive development is decades past due; Brampton`s 4 corners & immediate environs is perfectly located to exemplify that European panache of becoming a premier model of a highly functioning pedestrian(bi-pedal) oriented shopping & cultural Mecca.
Succinctly, the placement of the university is a most positive step in redefining, what will quickly become the architectural, historical & cultural center of Brampton.
