Today, Metrolinx announced that the location has changed for a controversial new GO train layover facility. In anposted on Wednesday, the provincially owned agency said it has moved the proposed Don Valley Layover facility out of the Valley.
Metrolinx had previously carved out 11-odd acres north of the Bloor Viaduct in Don River Valley Park for a layover required to park GO trains during off-peak hours. The yard would have incorporated an existing track in addition to at least three new buildings and a staff parking lot. Inevitably, this move was met with criticism from opponents, who said less environmentally intrusive sites were available.
In terms of next steps, Metrolinx says that engagement with Indigenous Nations and stakeholders about feasibility, and due diligence work will continue to be caried out on the new location to finalize design, property requirements, schedule, and operations for the On-Corridor Works Project.
