Metrolinx is a crown agency of the Government of Ontario under the Metrolinx Act, 2006, reporting to the Ministry of Transportation. It was created to improve the coordination and integration of all modes of transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). The Metrolinx mandate includes delivering the best possible transportation services today while leading the way to an even better, more convenient service tomorrow; making the best possible use of public transportation investment dollars; and measurably improving the quality of life in the region.
Metrolinx in proposing to expand its facilities along Kitchener Corridor, which runs from Union Station to Kitchener. The new layover will provide additional storage capacity which is required to archive the proposed level of service (two-way all-day service to Mount Pleasant GO, with an opportunity to expand to two-way all-day service at Georgetown) and consolidate the operational needs associated with frequent inner service to optimize operations planning for start and end of service.

The new track will be design and constructed by Canadian National Railway (CN) within its right-of-way.
