An improved pedestrian connection would boost the experience of current customers and may potentially encourage more people to consider these systems for daily transportation. Currently, users who walk between the GO station and the subway station must use stairs or a steep ramp, and the walk is unpleasant since the path is below ground.
The existing connection goes through two private properties, and our proposal explores an improvement to this connection that can be implemented as part of the redevelopment on these properties.
Our solution creates a milder slope by connecting the path and Main street further from the GO station. This decreases the elevation difference that needs to be navigated and stretches out the climb over a longer distance, making the journey more accessible to seniors or people with mobility issues.
