AND MAKE SURE OSHAWA VOICES ARE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR FOR A SECOND STATION IN OSHAWA!!!

Metrolinx's invitation says: ...”One of our other goals is to find a way to get more rail service to communities beyond Oshawa as quickly as we can, and to do so with an all-day service. The original plan from a few years ago was for limited service in the morning and evening peaks only. The options we are now considering are based on operating train service throughout the day.
We will work very closely with our municipal and freight partners to test which options are most advantageous, balancing both the benefits and the costs associated with each option to achieve this very important rail extension. This will include identifying how we achieve this extension as quickly as possible.
You are invited to attend one of our community meetings to learn more about the four options we are considering to extend GO service beyond Oshawa.”
