M.P. Patrick Brown is happy to announce the expansion of the Barrie South GO train station’s parking lot. Over 200 additional parking spaces have been created at the Barrie South GO station. This station will now accommodate almost 700 vehicles as opposed to the 500 lots previously available to Barrie residents.
In the last federal election, M.P Brown promised he would secure 8.3 million dollars towards the South Barrie GO train station. In 2006 he honoured his promise and presented a cheque to former Barrie Mayor Rob Hamilton. Currently, M.P Brown is advocating for a second station which would be located at the historical Allandale location.
The Barrie South GO train has so far been one of GO’s most successful new services, with ridership climbing to more than double the expected levels.
‘This is great news for Barrie GO train users as they now do not have to worry about finding a place to park which we all know can prove to be stressful during those mad morning dashes to work,’ said M.P. Patrick Brown.
