Metrolinx is planning a significant redesign of the Mimico GO Station concurrently with the mixed-use development of the property at 325 Royal York Road. The development would involve the construction and incorporation of a new primary station structure, covered parking to replace existing parking spaces, and a bicycle and pedestrian path in front of the station.
A 3.44-metre road widening is required along the Royal York Road frontage to satisfy the road width requirement of a 27-metre wide right-of-way. This road widening requirement was reflected in the proposal.
