So much info there. The most glaring piece of info is the following:
If I'm reading this correctly, there will be additional 2 concourses (ie, in addition to York and Bay), which seems rather unnecessary, but given that they are building new platforms on each side of the existing one - they think they have no choice?
This will most likely cost at least $1 billion...
Package 3: USEP Package 3 represents the final phase of the enabling works for GO Expansion to support electrification and rail capacity planning, including OnCorridor work on expanded platforms and tracks to the east and west of the station. Metrolinx proposes to build two new concourses below grade, to support the new platforms located east of Bay Street and west of York Street. Signals, electrification, and fleet with considerations for the operations and maintenance of the rail system are also part of this package. Initial reviews of Package 3 by the City indicate proposed new vertical access points for the Station proper; impacting areas within the Bay, York, VIA concourses and retail level. Metrolinx and IO advised that in January, 2019, they intend to issue a Request for Proposal.
