Terminus

Bloomington GO Station is a train and bus station under construction in the GO Transit network located in the extreme northeast corner of Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, serving Oak Ridges and the town of Whitchurch–Stouffville. It will become the new terminus of the Richmond Hill line train service when its construction is completed in 2019.[1][2] Construction of the station began in March 2017,[2] a few months after the completion of the Gormley GO Station which opened in December 2016.[1]

The station, consisting of a single platform, building, bus loop, kiss and ride, and up to 1,000 parking spaces, will be located on the south side of Bloomington Road (York Regional Road 40), on the east side of the Canadian National Railway line and west of Highway 404.[3][4] Land will also be reserved for a future carpool parking lot managed by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario.[4]

The station site will cost $82.4 million to develop,[2] and the multi-level parking structure and integrated station building will be built to satisfy LEED Gold certification.[5]
