Commuters in Ontario will have an easier time travelling through the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area following plans to improve Rutherford GO Station with more parking and additional customer-friendly features.
Improvements will include: new rail platforms and a full platform canopy as well as rail/road grade separation on Rutherford Road; a new pedestrian tunnel, which will connect to a future second track and accommodate a future third express centre track; a new multi-level parking structure, which will increase current capacity at the station by 1,200 parking spots; a re-design of the surface parking lot, kiss and ride area, bus loop and pedestrian access.
The improvements will allow for increased GO service along the Barrie GO corridor and support GO Regional Express Rail (RER), which will provide faster and more frequent service across the GO Transit rail network and is the largest commuter rail project in Canada.
