Bloor–Lansdowne GO Station (also referred to as Lansdowne GO Station) is a planned commuter train station in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It will be an infill station on the Barrie line of GO Transit located between the future Caledonia and Spadina–Front stations. All three future stations are located between the active Downsview Park station and Union Station. Bloor–Lansdowne is one of five GO stations to be built as part of the SmartTrack Stations Program to adapt regional commuter service for urban public transit.^[2]

Bloor–Lansdowne station was announced in June 2016.^[3] As of March 2023^[update], a construction contract had not been awarded as the City of Toronto has not secured enough funding to cover the increased costs of the project. The city is requesting $234 million from the province to cover SmartTrack's extra costs. The contract was to have been tendered on March 4, 2023, and should be awarded no later than April 5. Construction was planned to start in February 2024 for completion in May 2027.^[4]

Description

Bloor–Lansdowne station will be located on the south side of Bloor Street, west of St. Helens Avenue along the Barrie line's two-track rail corridor. The main entrance will be on the south side of Bloor Street just below the east side of the railway bridge. At the south end of the station there will be an entrance from St. Helens Avenue on the east side, and from Sterling Road on the west side. There will be a tunnel to connect the north- and southbound platforms with access by stairs and elevators. Bicycle parking and a drop-off area that can support passengers using paratransit vehicles will be provided. The station will be approximately 200 metres (660 ft) west of Lansdowne subway station at Lansdowne Avenue. ^[1]^: 11 ^[5]^: 11–12 ^[6]

A multi-use path will pass along the east side of the station, and cross Bloor Street parallel to the railway overpass. At the south end, it will connect with the West Toronto Rail Path. At the north end, it will connect with the Davenport Diamond Greenway,^[1] from which pedestrians can turn off to walk east along Wade Avenue to access Lansdowne subway station. ^[7]^: 57:00
