Interesting that Metrolinx (GO) is showing the paved area as a kiss and ride while the Crosstown shows it as a bus loop. Does anyone know if it'll be both or one or the other?For completeness sake, the May 26 EA Meeting Presentation:

Interesting that Metrolinx (GO) is showing the paved area as a kiss and ride while the Crosstown shows it as a bus loop. Does anyone know if it'll be both or one or the other?
I also wonder why they didn't explore a quicker connection between GO and the LRT. 3 escalators up, walk a bit and then escalators down. Why not a tunnel that leads directly to stairs up to the GO platforms? (other than of course the expense) Was this considered at the time or is the GO station a late-addition?
It's only a matter of timeSo far nothing is taking place at that site.
How long would such a commute take, when all is said, done and completed?A future hub connecting the Crosstown with the Barrie Go line. You'll soon be able to easily live in Barrie and work at Yonge and Eglinton.
Join us at our upcoming open house and learn about the future Caledonia Station, West Portal and Elevated Guideway. The west portal is where vehicles will enter and exit the underground tunnel, just west of Keele Street. Between the portal and Mount Dennis Station, vehicles will travel on bridged tracks on an elevated guideway.
Join Metrolinx and its constructor, Crosslinx Transit Solutions (CTS), at an open house to find out:
- the design of the West Portal and Elevated Guideway
- what construction is happening in your neighbourhood
- when it is happening
- why it needs to happen
- how it may impact you
- who to contact if you have questions/concerns
