On Tuesday May 24tn, MPP Kevin Flynn hosted a community meeting at St. Mildred's Lightbourn School, for the community with management from GO Transit / Metrolinx.

Gary McNeil, President, GO Transit provided some background and rationale on the proposed parking facility.  The presentation can be downloaded GO Transit Presentation (1.01 MB 2011-05-31 19:57:55),

Overall, the group in attendance seemed satisfied with the structure but very concerned about increased traffic at an already very busy intersection and concern about the poor pedestrian access / difficulty crossing a wide and very busy intersection.

GO has committed to providing the community with the results of its traffic study and we hope to post them here.

We've asked that the intersection, traffic situation and pedestrian access be reviewed / modified to encourage pedestrian access and move any additional traffic away from the intersection, perhaps moving the majority of traffic west.
