Metrolinx Opens Gormley GO Station
|
Metrolinx, serving the Toronto metropolitan area, recently opened GO Transit’s newest commuter rail  station, the Gormley GO Station in Richmond Hill, ON, the new terminus of the Richmond Hill Line.
In advance of the opening, Metrolinx hosted a community event at the station including a free scenic ride on a GO Train, safety handouts, stickers and fake tattoos for younger riders and a visit from GO Bear, the system’s mascot. |
Station amenities include 850 parking spaces, electric vehicle charging stations, a bus loop, a kiss-and-ride area, heated shelters and a platform snowmelt system for customer convenience. The Gormley GO Station is fully accessible and has been built to achieve LEED Silver certification. Green building features include rainwater harvesting technology and innovative roofing that is made from 95 percent recycled materials. The station’s design also preserves the natural environment around the station, including a creek, a forested area and a small meadow.
