KAWARTHA LAKES-The Ontario government says it has completed major infrastructure upgrades at Milliken and Agincourt GO stations along the Stouffville line.
“These major infrastructure improvements will increase safety and accessibility for customers while supporting future two-way, all-day,15-minute train service between Toronto and Markham,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation. “Through historic investments, our government is building a reliable and connected transit network for generations to come.”
Enhancements at Milliken GO Station include an additional track and platform, two new pedestrian tunnels, and additional vehicle and cycling lanes on Steeles Avenue. Commuters at Agincourt GO station will find a brand-new station building with modern facilities, as well as additional platforms and pedestrian tunnels. As part of this work, 19 train trips will be added along the Stouffville Line once future two-way, all-day service is offered.
“With more people choosing to call Ontario home every year, building reliable public transportation has never been so important,” said Todd McCarthy, Associate Minister of Transportation. “Upgrades along the Stouffville Line will ensure the necessary transit infrastructure is in place to support our growing population while delivering safer, faster, and more convenient travel options for commuters.”
As part of the larger GO Expansion program, improvements at the Milliken and Agincourt GO stations will build capacity on the Stouffville line to meet future ridership demand and support two-way, all-day GO train service, every 15 minutes between Unionville GO Station and Union Station.
By 2031, the province says it will introduce two-way, all-day GO train service, every 15 minutes between Unionville GO Station and Union Station with up to 2,000 GO train trips per week on the Stouffville Line, compared with the current level of 164 per week.
