Starting Monday, May 25, Metrolinx is improving access to and from Cooksville GO Station on GO Transit’s 21 Milton rail corridor. The bus loop and passenger drop-off and pick-up area (the “kiss and ride”) open in their new, permanent locations that day.
GO is closing the current kiss and ride and opening a new one on the east side of the station. You can access it from the new John Street access road, west of Hurontario Street. For now, you can’t get to the new parking garage from the new kiss and ride, due to ongoing construction at the station.
GO is also opening a new bus terminal on the north side of the parking garage, giving you easier access to the pedestrian tunnel in the garage. Temporarily, only GO buses use the new bus loop. MiWay buses drop off and pick up passengers at a temporary stop on Hurontario Street at John Street.
Finally, GO is closing the main access road, while contractors repave and repair the road and nearby parking lot. Pedestrians and motorists can access the parking garage along the west access road or John Street. GO is closing the main access road “until summer” or until about September 30.
GO continues to replace some Monday-to-Friday morning GO trains with buses east of Cooksville GO Station.
GO is revising the path for buses operating to and from Cooksville GO Station terminal along this route:
- 21 Milton / Toronto.
MiWay is detouring buses along these routes:
