Ontario government officials on June 28 will open GO Transit's new Bloomington Station, which will further extend the Richmond Hill rail line, offering more transit options and better connectivity to the York region.

The four-level station features nearly 1,000 parking spots, a three-level parking structure, a passenger drop-off and pick-up area. Riders will have access to additional COVID-19 safety measures, including hand sanitizers at the station and seat dividers on all buses and trains.

The station’s entrance waiting area has a large glass roof atrium that allows for natural lighting. Elevators and accessible ramps are found throughout the building to allow passengers to navigate all four levels of the station.

The new station extends the Richmond Hill line by about about 3 miles, past the Gormley GO Station and further north into Richmond Hill.
