TORONTO – Metrolinx, Ontario’s regional transportation agency, has announced plans to build a second track on the Stouffville GO line.
Work is schedule to begin this spring on a five-kilometre section of the rail corridor between Kennedy Road north of Milliken GO Station and Marilyn Avenue just north of Agincourt GO Station.
The project is part of a multi-year plan to expand the 17-kilometre line from Scarborough to Unionville.
Metrolinx says the “double-tracking” expansion will allow more train trips and two-way service for commuters in Scarborough, Markham and Stouffville.
The remainder of the 17-kilometres construction and additional station upgrades are still being worked out with construction estimated to begin in 2016.
