Being one of the original GO Stations built in 1967, it is now scheduled for modernization. The plans would make the station accessible with new elevators, connecting tunnels, washrooms and canopies over the platforms. It is expected to be 2016 before these upgrades are complete.[1] It is also anticipated that more condominium development in the area will increase the population density of the neighbourhood and attract more riders.[1]

gollark: OC has fluidy whatevers?
gollark: I could, alternatively, give each melter a dedicated former and enforce the ore-supplied-in-pairs thing.
gollark: Maybe if I just *automatically* clean them out it'd be better.
gollark: At that point this design loses a lot of its advantages and runs slower.
gollark: You mean the *in*puts to the formers?
