Ontario to partner with private company to build new transit station at Woodbine

Woodbine Entertainment -- which owns the current racetrack and casino complex -- will pay for the design and development of the new GO station, which will be on a rail line connecting Toronto and Kitchener.

The company estimates the project will cost between $75 million and $90 million and could not immediately give a date for its completion. Transportation Minister Jeff Yurek says the deal will allow the province to build new transit at no cost to taxpayers. The station will be located at Woodbine and Highway 27 and will replace the aging Etobicoke North station.

Dougie winning again....

Can they partner with themselves so we have regular trains coming to and from hamilton every day?

This is great!

Nothing in this world is free. What are we selling out and how are we paying for this There is a reason this was not done before !

I mean it's good for creating jobs but am I the only one who's curious who this 'private company' is?
