The GO Parking Authority
This is such a ridiculous waste of money.
I'm all in favour of more money for GO.
But right now they can't squeeze more people onto the trains anyway.
Even if they get around their long promised 1/2 hour off-peak service, they need not 1 or 2, but a dozen new rush-hours trains to meet demand in the Lakeshore Corridor alone.
Purely as captial dollars, there were many better ways to spend the funds.
There are several more useful grade separations to be done.
Rail to Rail: Richmond Hill/CN York
Rail to Rail: Lakeshore/Stouffville GO
Rail to Road: Morningside Ave. - Lakeshore line
Rail to Road: Finch Avenue - Stouffville Line
In addition to need for more track in several places.
Further, they need to get more people to come to GO by transit or other means.
That means more buses and service for BRT, MT, BT, Oakville Transit etc.
More parking can be justified only AFTER all of the above and some sort of charging for parking as well.
