Metrolinx finally confirmed the station at Park Lawn Road. This fight took everything out of me but people actually listened in the end. Keep paying attention to the next phases because we have to ensure they get it right.

To Metrolinx and the Ministry of Transportation
WHEREAS, the Humber Bay Shores (HBS) area surrounding Park Lawn Road and Lake Shore Boulevard has experienced rapid residential development in the last decade.
WHEREAS, the area has approximately 28,000 residents currently living in the densely-populated HBS and surrounding area.
WHEREAS, the estimated potential population from current development applications will increase the area’s population to approximately 40,000 new residents.
WHEREAS, in 2013 the Toronto Board of Trade estimated that traffic congestion costs Toronto’s economy $6 billion a year.
WHEARAS, low occupancy vehicular transit congestion becomes an alternative to unreliable public transit resulting in elevated air and noise pollution,
WHEREAS, there is critical demand for public transit for this part of Etobicoke. Currently, public transit services are consistently congested, inefficient, and at times unreliable.
WHEREAS, a new GO Train station at Park Lawn Road would assist with relieving congestion and pressures on overburdened transportation infrastructure by providing easily accessible rapid transit for thousands of area residents from Humber Bay Shores, Mimico, and the south Etobicoke communities.
WHEREAS, there is an opportunity to purchase land along the rail corridor at Mondelez/Christies’ Site; currently vacated and for sale,
WHEREAS, an additional new GO Train Station at Park Lawn would also be aligned with the province’s stated policies to improve quality through the reduction of traffic on provincial highways by the provision of mass transit.
Be It Resolved, for the aforementioned reasons we, the undersigned citizens, petition the Metrolinx and the Ministry of Transportation to approve an additional new GO Train Stop/Station in the vicinity of Park Lawn Road and Lake Shore Boulevard.

The climb toward one thousand names is exhausting and slow but we are within reach of that mark. I need you to send the link to someone new so we can hit this goal and force them to look at our demands.

Park Lawn is a parking lot. Build the station.
PLEASE!! I can't take the commute anymore. It is way too crowded here now for the current transit setup.
About time! The buses are packed like sardines and half the time they don't even show up. Fix this mess already.
So many new buildings going up but zero improvements to how we actually get around. My quality of life would be so much better with a train station nearby.
Living in a condo and watching the cars line up on lakeshore for hours is painful. A GO station is the only thing that makes sense for the future of this neighborhood.

The traffic down here is absolutely insane. Getting to downtown takes forever every single morning. We need this stop so bad.
