Vaughan commuters on the Barrie GO Transit line are frustrated by limited parking, a lack of seats and delays due to congestion when accessing current stations. For GO riders, these factors have made the simple task of getting to work or school on time an obstacle.

We, the undersigned, are calling on the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, GO Transit and Metrolinx, to address these problems by constructing a GO station at Kirby Road.

A Kirby GO station would alleviate gridlock and crowding, and ultimately, promote better service and an easier commute.

We are encouraging those hoping for transportation changes to sign this petition, which will be sent to the province, GO Transit and Metrolinx.

Together, with the support of commuters and stakeholders, we can build a more efficient city and put transit on track in Vaughan.

Would make perfect sense as there is not nearly enough parking for commuters! Walmart, Lowes, etc have all threatened to tow vehicles parked in their lots

We need to alleviate the congestion at the Maple station - I can't even find a parking spot anymore! And Go officials are issuing $100 parking tickets at this lot. It's appalling.

parking at that go stations is almost impossible. Go needs to look at a new station but also building parking structures to acccomodate the addtional riders the new developments have brought.

Approval of block 27 should be contingent on developer's first building the GO station "FIRST" at no cost to the City.

Please make this station happen! Parking is a complete nightmare at every station between King and Rutherford.

Will Metrolinx, GO and the thieving provincial liberals actually agree to this? They might look at all the lost revenue from King City reserved parking (which has become practically all that is available) and kaibosch the Kirby station. I don't think they put commuters above their own interests.

The lack of legal parking spots is ridiculous.
