Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations - Public Information Centre #2
About
As part of the GO Expansion Program, Metrolinx has identified various infrastructure required to achieve service level targets across the network.
The Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations is one component of GO Expansion Program that will follow a Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) (Ontario Regulation 231/08).
The purpose of the Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations is to accommodate the expansion of the Stouffville Rail Corridor through grade separations or road closure at seven at-grade road-rail crossings. These improvements will reduce traffic conflicts. The Project will facilitate the GO Expansion Program, including the construction of the previously approved new track. To support GO Expansion along the Stouffville Rail Corridor, the following at-grade crossings will be altered:
City of Markham, York Region
Denison Street, Road Under Rail Grade Separation
Kennedy Road, Road Under Rail Grade Separation
City of Toronto
Passmore Avenue, Road Under Rail Grade Separation
McNicoll Avenue, Road Under Rail Grade Separation
Huntingwood Drive, Road Under Rail Grade Separation
Havendale Road, Road Closure with Multi-use Crossing
Progress Avenue, Road Over Rail Grade Separation
Stouffville Rail Corridor Grade Separations TPAP is one project that is part of GO Expansion. To learn more about other GO Expansion projects, click here.

A Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) is a focused impact assessment process created specifically for transit projects. The process involves a pre-consultation phase followed by a regulated up to 120-day phase and includes consultation, an assessment of positive and negative impacts, an assessment of measures to mitigate negative impacts and documentation.
A TPAP ensures that the natural, social, cultural, and economic environments are protected and any potential adverse effects from proposed infrastructure are either avoided, mitigated or minimized.
