They could always elevate the streetcar over Old Weston, the rail corridor and Keele/Weston. Add no trackage to the streetcar route. Reduce pedestrian conflicts. Not crazy expensive. It could be our little Broadway Junction.
2 and 80 Union Street September 11, 2023
7:00 PM – Virtual Hearing
Virtual meeting to discuss rezoning for the proposed St. Clair - Old Weston SmartTrack (GO) station. Two new station entrance buildings with below grade connections to station platforms within the Metrolinx rail corridor and a new TTC bus loop with 7 bus bays that can accomodate 3 articulated buses, 3 standard buses and 1 Wheel-Trans bus.

I'm curious how they would describe the primary user base for this station. The design focus seems to be Union Street and bus connections, but my gut says the demand is St.Clair (Stockyards and streetcar). Knowing they are going to build a new St.Clair underpass and Davenport overpass, it seems crazy to me there is no way to have a proper St.Clair entrance, maybe something similar to Bloor-Dundas GO/UP station, and that there was no possible way to connect to the streetcar in a meaningful way. If the entrance to the station from the corner of St.Clair and Keele isn't the busiest of all the entrances I would be beyond surprised.
They are doing work at night on this site. We received a notice of the overnight work recently. They are locating underground utilities. You may be confusing the site with the old Weston flea market site, which is different.

I haven't been in the area for some time and more so at this time of the year. There wasn't anything going on site the day I visited it nor any equipment.

Notices and seeing someone or thing on a site are two different things. I got several notices lately, but the date things were to take place have yet to take place.
I must've missed it, but was there any explanation to why the side-side-island platform configuration was ditched for the side-side platform only? I assume the awkward layout, tight ROW, and limited need for an express service stop changed MX/ONxpress's minds.
