Planning and Growth Committee: Mimico GO Station

At its April 11 meeting, the City’s Planning and Growth Committee introduced a surprise motion asking staff to study the relocation of the Mimico GO station. While I strongly support the construction of a new GO station in the Humber Bay Shores neighbourhood, removing the Mimico GO station is not the way to accomplish this.

I urge local residents to send your comments to the Planning and Growth Committee at pgmc@toronto.ca

Sincerely,

Mark Grimes
