Metrolinx has partnered up with Woodbine Entertainment to open up a new Go station beside the race track at off Highway 27. The cost of this project will be between 75 to 90 million dollars. Transportation Minister Jeff Yurek says the new Go station on the Kitchener line will be built at no cost to taxpayers. ” We will reduce the cost of transit, create jobs and have more housing built.” Woodbine Entertainment has agreed to pay for the whole construction. ” Woodbine plans for developments around the station will bring new jobs, housing and entertaiment to Rexdale.”
