How much faster would GO trains be if they used electrical multiple unit (EMU) trains? Today, a 33.7km trip from Pickering to Union station makes 6 stops and takes 45 minutes Our proposed local EMU service would make 13 stops, and take only 36 minutes.

The GO parking lots offer a huge opportunity to turn GO station areas into some of the best parts of our region. The TOC program should take inspiration from other developments in the region which are creating a much more vibrant mixed use and pedestrianized spaces. 6/6

The current proposal is too car oriented, with large amounts of space between buildings being taken up by massive roundabouts for loading access. These spaces should be moved away from the station and a more pedestrianized area should be part of this development. 4/6

The current proposal does not have enough retail or employment spaces, in addition most of the ground floor of the buildings are set aside for back of house spaces and amenities that could be moved elsewhere. These spaces should prioritize retail and employment. 3/6

This is a perfect example of one of the reasons we have absurd transit costs. We can only compare ourselves to other Canadian and American agencies such as the MTA, who consistently have some of the worlds highest construction cost. Platform doors in Europe are 10x cheaper.
