Construction begins at the new Allandale Waterfront GO station
BARRIE, ONTARIO ` Patrick Brown, Member of Parliament for Barrie; Aileen Carroll, Member of Provincial Parliament for Barrie; and Gary McNeil, GO Transit president, today marked the start of construction for the new Allandale Waterfront GO Station. The new stop will allow GO Transit to extend train service further into downtown Barrie, improving access to GO rail service and downtown Barrie, and increasing ridership on the Barrie line.
"Our government's investment in Allandale Station will increase public transit use, reduce gridlock and improve air quality," said MP Brown. "This new station will create jobs, increase economic growth and improve service for commuters in Barrie."
"This is great news for Barrie residents," said MPP Carroll. "Adding another stop in Barrie will make it easier for GO commuters to take public transit and leave their cars at home. Better public transit means a better quality of life for Ontario families."
