GO Train Station Secondary Plan
Secondary planning for the GO Transit stations in Grimsby, Lincoln, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls was initiated by Niagara Region in collaboration with the respective lower tier municipalities in early 2016. The Secondary Plan is part of the overall initiative that will bring GO Transit to the region starting in 2021.
Since that time, Regional staff has addressed Council on two occasions, most recently this past September. In addition, a number of public consultation sessions and stakeholder meetings have occurred so as to obtain input on the Plan, as recently as October. The Plan provides policies respecting land use, transportation and municipal infrastructure improvements, urban design and implementation tools.
The final report will be prepared and presented to Council in the first quarter of 2018.
