This is from Metrolinx's Toronto West newsletter, of Aug 13, 2024.
With work starting on all of the logistics hubs, one could be forgiven for concluding that ONxpress' plan for GO Train Expansion was approved at the June Metrolinx Board meeting.
Perhaps during item 3 the 75 minute in-camera session with the Board and CEO?![]()

Interesting bit from the GO Capital projects update/Union Station:
It was another busy quarter for the Union Station Enhancement Project (USEP), where Metrolinx is using Alliance contracting to deliver a suite of improvements to Union Station. During excavation over the winter, significant archaeological findings were unearthed between York and Bay streets along the historical Lake Ontario shoreline, specifically the remnants of the original Toronto wharf. The wharf’s materials were catalogued in detail and successfully removed, allowing the project construction to continue. East of the station where the Alliance is adding approach tracks, temporary shoring at both Jarvis and Sherbourne Streets started in March and continues into the spring in preparation for the substructure work of both bridge extensions. The civil underground duct bank between the Esplanade substation and the Don Fleet Junction was also completed, which is a critical precursor to future works, such as the installation of the utility bridges.
