Mimico GO Station

We are inviting Metrolinx to join us and share their expected completion date for the long-overdue accessibility improvements—to remove the barriers our residents with mobility devices and families with strollers face every day at the most neglected GO station in Canada.

PETITION – SIGN BEFORE May 28th

We invite you to support us by signing our petition (signatures must be on paper and include full name and full address) to be presented in the Ontario Legislature.

Please find us on 📆 Tuesday, May 27th, from 4–6 PM,📍 on the lawn across from the Royal York Rd stairs to sign the petition in person.

Alternatively you can print it yourself and maybe you know someone who would also like to sign it.

The Legislative Assembly of Ontario has rules for petitions outlined here: https://www.ola.org/en/get-involved/petitions and it states: The petition must be written, typewritten, or printed. Emailed, faxed, photocopied, or online petitions are not allowed. Petitioners need to be residents of Ontario.

To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

Whereas Metrolinx committed that a fully accessible Mimico GO station would be in place by 2023;

Whereas the Purpose of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) includes “developing, implementing and enforcing accessibility standards in order to achieve accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities with respect to goods, services, facilities, accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises on or before January 1, 2025”;

Whereas residents with mobility challenges, and those travelling with strollers and young children, are currently unable to use the Mimico GO Station to travel to work, school, or visit friends and family, causing undue hardship;

We, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:
1) Call on the Minister of Transportation to direct Metrolinx to immediately appoint a dedicated Community Liaison Officer for the Mimico GO Station project to receive design input from residents who experience accessibility barriers; and establish
quarterly communication with residents on progress and timelines.

2) Call on the Minister of Transportation to direct Metrolinx to begin construction of the accessibility retrofits in 2025, and that the project swiftly moves to completion without any undue delay.

May 14th, 2025 – MPP Lee Fairclough asked the Minister of Transportation about Mimico GO and Parklawn GO stations, including whether construction to make Mimico GO station accessible would finally get started and be included in this budget.

March 27, 2025 – In our 2025 Annual General Meeting, we shared that the Mimico GO Station Accessibility, Upgrades are a critical priority for the MRA. See the Annual Report 2025.

March 25th, 2025 – MPP Lee Fairclough sends a letter asking Minister of Transportation “Could you please provide information on the timeline for procurement and construction starts at the Mimico GO Station to finally make it fully accessible?”

Sept 12, 2024 – We held a Community Town Hall in order to address the various issues regarding the Mimico GO Station, the recently failed development project dubbed Mimico Grand Central, and various actions needed with developers and government offices. See the Facebook event site.  

Also, a volunteer ran an analysis of the Town Hall survey results (see attached graphs) and the #1 priority was the Mimico GO accessibility, with the #2 priority being co-op housing on the site.
