Train on the Lakeshore West Line

Lakeshore West Line GO Expansion

Resources

Before a construction project can begin, Metrolinx undertakes various studies to help make decisions about the project. These studies include a business case, which presents evidence and analysis to explain why a project should be built, and an environmental assessment, which identifies potential impacts of a project and proposes ways to avoid, reduce or minimize them.

The following studies and reports were undertaken to support major work required to implement the GO Expansion program on the Lakeshore West Line.
