Brampton Gateway Terminal is a Brampton Transit bus station serving the south-central and western areas of Brampton, Ontario. It is located on the north-west corner of Steeles Avenue and Main Street adjoining the Shoppers World Brampton shopping centre. The terminal opened on November 26, 2012 to replace the Shoppers World Terminal on the south-west side of the shopping centre.
History
In 2009, the manager of Land Use Policy recommended that, with the addition of Acceleride (later Züm) and a proposed Hurontario–Main LRT, there was a "demonstrated need" to move the terminal to the corner of Hurontario and Steeles. Such a move would allow less diversion time from the route to the station, and for a larger station.{{Cite web |date=March 16, 2009 |editor-last=Waters |editor-first=David |title=Recommendation Report: Proposed Interim Control By-Law, Hurontario Corridor/Main Street Study Wards 1, 3, 4, 5 |url=http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/City%20Council/20090422cc_I8-7.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402030547/http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/City%20Council/20090422cc_I8-7.pdf |archive-date=April 2, 2019 |website=City of Brampton}}
As a stop on the potential LRT, the terminal is considered part of the Hurontario Higher Order Transit corridor.{{Cite web |date=December 23, 2010 |editor-last=Zbogar |editor-first=Henrik |title=Status Report: Metrolinx Draft Mobility Hub Guideline |url=http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/PDD%20Committee%202010/20110131pdd_F1.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402014719/http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/PDD%20Committee%202010/20110131pdd_F1.pdf |archive-date=April 2, 2019 |website=City of Brampton}} Expropriations were made to allow for the terminal to be moved;{{Cite web |date=January 5, 2010 |editor-last=Pritchard |editor-first=Ann |title=Expropriation of property for the Shoppers World Transit Terminal Upgrade, Ward 4 |url=http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/Committee%20of%20Council%202010/20100120cw_H5.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402030544/http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/Committee%20of%20Council%202010/20100120cw_H5.pdf |archive-date=April 2, 2019 |website=City of Brampton}} this stands in contrast to the previous location which was leased from Shoppers World Brampton.{{Cite web |date=February 4, 2011 |editor-last=Smith |editor-first=Adrian |title=Brampton: Responsible Growth Management |url=http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/Brampton%20Environmental%20Adv%20Commitee/20110208bepac_E3.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402030552/http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/Brampton%20Environmental%20Adv%20Commitee/20110208bepac_E3.pdf |archive-date=April 2, 2019 |website=City of Brampton}} As of spring 2010, the terminal redesign and relocation was scheduled to coincide with the Zum Main Street launch in fall 2011;{{Cite web |date=2010 |title=Brampton Ward Report |url=http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/CouncilOffice/Documents/Ward-Reports/2010Ward%202-6%20Spg-Sum.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328170101/http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/CouncilOffice/Documents/Ward-Reports/2010Ward%202-6%20Spg-Sum.pdf |archive-date=2012-03-28 |access-date=2012-11-22 |website=City of Brampton}} it was listed as a 2011 service initiative in the agency's 2011 Current and Capital Budget.{{Cite web |title=2011 Current and Capital Budget |url=http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/budget/2011%20Budget/Works%20and%20Transportation.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402015244/http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/budget/2011%20Budget/Works%20and%20Transportation.pdf |archive-date=April 2, 2019 |website=City of Brampton}}
A contract for the construction of the new terminal, its amenities, plus road and intersection improvements was awarded to Graham Construction and Engineering. The lowest tender, the contract was worth $10,190,340.{{Cite web |date=September 14, 2011 |title=Minutes City Council |url=http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/City%20Council%202010/20110914ccmn.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402015251/http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/City%20Council%202010/20110914ccmn.pdf |archive-date=April 2, 2019 |publisher=The Corporation of the City of Brampton |page=8}} Earlier estimates presumed an $8.3 million cost. A City report placed the "higher actual costs" on a limited construction time-line and tendering the contract during the summer.{{Cite web |date=September 8, 2011 |title=Construction of the New Shoppers World Transit Terminal and Related Passenger Amenities, Road and Intersection Improvements, City of Brampton |url=http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/City%20Council%202010/20110914cc_Q9.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190402015259/http://www.brampton.ca/en/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/City%20Council%202010/20110914cc_Q9.pdf |archive-date=April 2, 2019}}
