With these federal and provincial funds, GO will improve services to passengers in the Barrie, Georgetown, Highway 407, Lakeshore East, Lakeshore West, Milton and Richmond Hill corridors and throughout the system.

---

Barrie corridor

GO will:

• extend train service closer to downtown Barrie by building a new station at Allandale. GO designs the new station this summer. Contractors start construction in 2010 and finish in 2011.
• rehabilitate the rail bridge across Yonge Street in Aurora this year.

---

Georgetown corridor

GO will:

• widen the bridge, install a second track and provide for a future third track on the bridge across the Credit River between Georgetown and Mount Pleasant GO Stations. Contractors start construction this summer, finishing by fall 2010.

---

Highway 407 corridor

GO will:

• build a new bus facility at Aberfoyle, south of Guelph. It will store 12 buses overnight in the new garage at Brock Road South and McLean Road by the end of this year. In a second phase of the project, GO will join Greyhound Canada to build and open a new bus terminal by late 2010.
• build a new platform and two shelters for passengers at Richmond Hill Centre terminal. It starts designing the new passenger facilities this month. Contractors start construction in May and finish in October this year. The new platform and shelters will improve the connection for passengers transferring between GO, York Region Transit and Viva buses.

---

Lakeshore East corridor

GO will:

• build a new facility in Ajax to refuel, wash and maintain buses, with offices and areas for drivers to lay over between trips. Contractors start construction in spring 2010 and finish by spring 2011.
• install a system to melt snow from the platform at Ajax GO Station.

---

Lakeshore West corridor

GO will:

• build a new facility to fuel locomotives at Aldershot GO Station. The new facility means GO no longer has to divert trains to Willowbrook Yard to refuel them, improving service for passengers. Contractors start construction this month and finish in November.
• install a system to melt snow from the platform at Bronte GO Station.
• build a new pedestrian bridge at Burlington GO Station so that passengers can walk along a weather-protected passageway from the parking structure to the centre platform. Contractors start construction this summer and finish in winter 2010.
• remove and rebuild the south platform at Clarkson GO Station. The new platform will include a canopy and system to melt snow from the platform. The project will start once Contractors finish building the north platform and installing new track. GO expects work to start this fall and finish in spring 2011.
• extend the pedestrian tunnel, build a new tunnel entrance, install an elevator, widen the platform and install a system to melt snow from the platform at Exhibition GO Station. Contractors start construction in spring 2010 and finish in winter 2011.
• extend and re-align the rail to create a fifth track through Exhibition GO Station to improve rush-hour service. Contractors start construction this fall and finish by spring 2011.

---

Milton corridor

GO will:

• expand the new bus facility at Streetsville to accommodate more buses. (GO just opened this facility in February.) Contractors start construction in fall 2010 and finish in spring 2012.

---

Richmond Hill corridor

GO will:

• rehabilitate the pedestrian bridge connecting the centre platform at Oriole GO Station with the neighbourhood west of the station. Contractors start construction this summer and finish this fall.

---

Throughout the system

GO will:

• buy 20 more two-level railcars;
• refurbish 45 older locomotives to keep them in a state of good repair and make them more reliable;
• install global positioning systems (GPS) in all GO buses to help transit control operators keep track of buses and dispatch extra vehicles if necessary. GO starts installing the systems in buses this summer and all buses in its fleet will have GPS by the end of 2011.
• build 56 more bicycle shelters this summer to increase the number of shelters to 102;
• maintain and improve tracks during the next five years; and
• repair more bridges during the next two years.
