Earlier today Milton MPP Parm Gill issued a statement on Twitter announcing that Metrolinx has released its Initial Business Case (IBC) for a new GO station to potentially be located in Milton’s future plans for expansion in the Agerton and Trafalgar Corridor. This secondary plan which is currently under review is Milton’s next phase of growth and development that is planned for development in 2021-2031.
A GO Transit station is proposed for the Derry and Trafalgar Road area where it can accommodate higher density and mixed use development that will help business growth and job opportunities for local residents.
This station will provide area residents not only in Milton but North Halton and Mississauga with more options and mobility choices to help in inter-region transit choices to move across Milton and the Greater Toronto Area.
As many know, since I have been elected to Milton Town Council, I have been very outspoken about making sure Metrolinx is aware of our growth and transit needs. From the Mobility Hub that is being planned for expansion around our current GO Station on Main Street to the growing demands of Milton residents for the need of choices and options for inter-regional transit.
This is definitely a positive next step in creating more mobility choices for Milton residents as well as move forward in our economic development in the next phase of our growth. Many thanks to MPP Parm Gill & Metrolinx for continuing to work closely with Milton Town Council & Halton Region.
