rfmcdonaldVia blogTO, I learned of this news. CBC had good coverage.
Four new GO train stations have been proposed for Toronto, the province announced today.
Two of those stations would also be used by Toronto's SmartTrack rail line. An additional four stops on SmartTrack were also revealed on Tuesday.
The new stops represent a significant addition to the GO Transit network — and an even more significant push forward for SmartTrack, the proposed subway-like rail transit plan that will run on GO train tracks.
The four GO stops would be at Bloor Street West and Lansdowne Avenue, Spadina Avenue and Front Street West, in Liberty Village, and at St. Clair West and Keele Street — all along the Barrie and Kitchener GO Transit lines. All are planned to be opened within a 10-year time horizon.
The SmartTrack would share stops in Liberty Village and St. Clair and Keele, as well as four east-end stations:
the Don Yard/Unilever area, between Cherry Street and Eastern Avenue
Gerrard Street East near Carlaw Avenue
Lawrence Avenue East between Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue
Finch Avenue between Kennedy and Midland.
