A cluster of derelict buildings along Hamilton's future LRT corridor is finally being demolished, with Metrolinx confirming that the work is set to begin in mid-December. Eight Metrolinx-acquired properties, which have become quite the eyesore for locals, will all be demolished over the next two weeks to make way for the Hamilton Light Transit (LRT) line. Addresses include abandoned or aging buildings at 1215 King St. E., 1253 King St. E., 1646 Main St. E., 1652 Main St. E., 3 Barnesdale Ave. S., 7 Glendale Ave. N., 1145 Main St. E., and 1147 Main St. E.The transit agency notes that residents and businesses near the construction sites can expect occasional noise, vibration, and debris removal as excavators move in. Although some activity has commenced along the line's future route, the LRT itself isn't under construction just yet. Back in May, the provincial government issued its first Request for Proposals (RFP) for early civil and utility work, with up to $3.4 billion in joint provincial and federal funding going toward the project.
