Kitchener Line GO Expansion

King-Liberty GO Station

A new SmartTrack GO Station in Liberty Village.

As part of the SmartTrack Stations program, King-Liberty GO Station will be located on the Kitchener line between Union and Bloor GO stations.

The station will feature an island platform with canopies and shelters, covered bike parking and two pedestrian bridges that connect the new platforms to King Street, Sudbury Street and Joe Shuster Way providing increased connectivity in the neighbourhood.

The new station will increase access to TTC bus service and streetcars on King and Queen Streets and will provide a single GO train connection to Union Station.

The development phase for King-Liberty GO Station is ongoing with the construction manager. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2024.

During the project’s development phase, the construction manager works closely with Metrolinx on potential solutions to design challenges – allowing for innovation, efficiency, and quality management throughout the design process.  

Near the end of the development phase, the construction manager will provide an estimated construction schedule and a target price for the proposed work – at which time, Metrolinx and the construction manager would finalize the construction contract.

Project overview

SmartTrack is coming to Toronto to bring you a better connected, more modern transit network to get you where you need to go within your city and beyond. The SmartTrack Stations program will leverage roughly 40 km of Metrolinx’s pre-existing GO rail corridors within the city, so that new rail stations are closer to where people live, work and travel.

Specific benefits for the surrounding community include:

Increased connectivity to multiple transit options, including TTC streetcar service on King and Queen Streets, local bus service, and Exhibition GO Station on the Lakeshore West Rail Corridor
Single train connection to Union Station
Convenient access to destinations such as Woodbine, Guelph, and Kitchener.

This transformative infrastructure project will provide a greater choice of reliable and convenient route options to shorten commutes and increase quality of life for locals and visitors alike. The new stations are projected to bring 110,000 new daily riders to the rail network by 2031, providing easy access to more than 52 major regional destinations located within 800 metres of transit stations, including major shopping centres, community facilities and educational institutions.

The SmartTrack program is a joint initiative of the Province of Ontario, Infrastructure Ontario, the City of Toronto and Metrolinx. Please visit the City of Toronto webpage for more information on the program.
