Construction on the Grimsby GO Station has started as part of the Government of Ontario’s plan to support increased GO service to the Niagara Region.
The province says it is using a new standardized design for the station to help reduce construction costs and speed up timelines. The new station will include one platform, 220 parking spaces, a bus loop and pick-up/drop-off areas.
“Grimsby GO is a game-changer for Niagara; it will get people where they’re going faster and safely, support good-paying jobs during construction and unlock increased service on the Lakeshore West line,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation.
The Ontario government has invested over $14 billion to deliver faster, more frequent service across the GO Transit network, including multiple investments to improve service on the Lakeshore West line. In addition to opening Confederation GO Station last year, the province completed major upgrades to West Harbour GO Station, saving 250,000 daily commuters 15 minutes roundtrip and improving access to Niagara Falls, Canada’s top tourist destination.
“The start of construction on the Grimsby GO Station marks a significant milestone for our community and for the future of transportation across Niagara. On behalf of the Town of Grimsby, I want to thank Minister Sarkaria and the Government of Ontario for their continued commitment to improving transit infrastructure and connecting people to jobs, education, and opportunity,” said Jeff Jordan, Mayor of Grimsby.
Grimsby GO Station will be the first GO Transit station using a new standardized approach. This station will offer future customers a safe, functional facility while providing a repeatable model for the province to efficiently design and construct GO Transit stations that deliver value for money in both capital investment and future operating costs.
“Grimsby GO Station will bring GO rail service to a growing community while helping shape how future stations are delivered across the network. Through strong collaboration with Niagara Region and the Government of Ontario, we’re delivering infrastructure that expands transit access and supports long-term growth,” said Michael Lindsay, president and CEO of Metrolinx.
