Site Plan Approval for the new station has been filed with the City of Toronto:

A Masterpiece she is not; but not a bad looking station over all; though, the signage needs some work

What's the name of this GO Line? (note the signage)

Now, here's the signage I think may be problematic........ Does one really need direction to this road, from here?:

Well now......this is ummm, a splash of colour:

I'm excited about this transit oriented development LED by the developer. This will be a major link to the Etobicoke Lakeshore.

I have got to try that elevator!

That station design is fantastic.

I would take a pink mud hut if they would just get this thing built. The area is already overdeveloped, not much can be done to change that. The GO station is a real game changer and badly needed.

I do wonder how a 2-lane Park Lawn will work, even the bus will be impacted.

I don't think I have ever seen a guy in dishdasha here in Toronto (rendering or otherwise).

Methinks they could be a bit more ambitious with their bike parking than a crappy rack at the front door.

Yeah, that was a bit incongruous.

The platforms of this new Parklawn stop won't even be 1km from the Mimico platforms. Are they going to remove Mimico station?

No.

We don't know what the service pattern will be yet; but there is speculation that Parklawn and Mimico will be stops on alternate runs when service is more frequent (ie. if service is 15M, then each station will see service every 30M). But that's not yet clear.

But Mimico is 100% being retained.

The exterior renderings remind me of Japan train stations - even the primitive bike parking. Now if only that proposed TOD building is filled with eateries and shops on the first few floors of the podium...

Looks like we’re finally seeing the “A” Line designation for Lakeshore West show up in the renderings. That’s cool.

As an aside, I think that “Humber Bay” would be a better station name. Hopefully Park Lawn isn’t final.

A few more additional crude renderings:

But Mimico is 100% being retained.

Probably wise given how much development is in the pipeline around there.

No sign of a massive parking lot or garage! Baby steps - you can do this, GO Transit!

I’m shocked there isn’t asphalt on the platform!
