Major upgrades at Bloor GO/UP Station to support capacity on the Kitchener Line

The Government of Ontario announced the completion of major upgrades at Bloor GO/UP Station, with new GO rail track installed to support future increased capacity on the Kitchener Line. Additional upgrades include a new pedestrian tunnel and covered pedestrian pavilion connecting the station to Randolph Avenue, opened on July 31, 2026.

“The improvements at Bloor GO/UP Station will support increased service on the Kitchener Line, getting people where they’re going faster,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation.

The upgrades include 2.5 kilometres of new GO rail track, bringing the corridor to four tracks between Dupont Street and Lansdowne Avenue, and a new park on Ernest Avenue, which will provide the community with year-round access to a revitalized public space. A noise barrier, retaining wall and a taller fence have also been installed to the west side of the Bloor Street West pedestrian bridge to enhance safety.

“Bloor Station is one of Toronto’s most connected transit hubs, bringing together access to GO Transit, UP Express, and the TTC – all in one facility,” said Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario. “These upgrades will make it easier for people across the region to get to work, school, and home, strengthening the links that keep our city moving.”

“The upgrades at Bloor GO/UP Station will make a real difference for the community — creating a safer, more direct connection between the neighbourhood and the station. These improvements will make transit more accessible and easier to use for the people who rely on it every day. It’s another step forward as we continue building a better, more connected network for this growing community.” said Michael Lindsay, president and CEO of Metrolinx.

The Government of Canada has supported the upgrades to the Bloor GO/UP Station and the ongoing work on the West Toronto Railpath through funding from two investments through the New Building Canada Fund:

GO Transit Expansion Project: The Government of Canada is contributing approximately $1.9 billion, including Bloor GO/UP Station. The Government of Ontario is contributing more than $4.1 billion to the overall project.
