This makes me wonder when the station would realistically be built. Im assuming it would be built the same time as those first few condos.

If the market hadn't crashed, there likely would have been movement on this last year.

The developers are required to have the station open for when the first residents move in, so no doubt construction will start on it in time to coordinate with the first phase here, however First Capital and Pemberton manage to finance those buildings (whether as rentals or once the condo market returns). In the meantime, we are all stuck waiting for the economics to work again.

Originally the station was supposed to open in 2024.. LOL.

Now I’m seeing 2032…

Brutal. So slow.

I guess this is the problem with relying on the private sector to build public infrastructure.

cant the city/province jump in and assist with building the station? the area needs more transit.

Some recent activity on the 2150 Lake Shore Phase 1site, for which Park Lawn Go station is a prerequisite. You can see photo updates in that thread:

Ever since Cirque du Soleil wrapped up and moved out for the season in mid-July, there's been work on the site where this phase of the project is supposed to be constructed. Basically, in the month and a half, they graded the site flat with the exception of couple sizeable mounds of dirt. Here are some shots of the entire site:

Mounds of dirt are next to the old water tower:

The foundation for the future showroom and the white storage shed next to BMO on the intersection of Park Lawn and Lake Shore. No movement on the showroom construction for a year and a half now:
