Lakeshore East Line GO Expansion

Eglinton GO Station

Eglinton GO Station is now fully accessible for all.

Construction to make Eglinton GO Station accessible for all passengers is now complete.

Eglinton GO Station, located near the intersection of Eglinton Avenue East and McCowan Road, was built in 1978. This latest project adds infrastructure so the station is accessible for all passengers. This is the final phase of a two-phase project and will prepare the station to support increased two-way, all-day service in years to come.
