Caledonia is an underground light rail transit (LRT) station under construction on Line 5 Eglinton, a new line that is part of the Toronto subway system. It will be located along Eglinton Avenue between the GO Transit Barrie rail corridor and the entrance to the Westside Mall. This is about 200 metres west of Caledonia Road opposite Blackthorn Avenue.
In April 2014, the station's headwalls were tunneled through. The station is scheduled to open in 2021.
The main entrance will face Eglinton Avenue West and have a small station plaza. The station will include a bus loop with two bus bays, outdoor parking for 60 bicycles and retail spaces within the main entrance at ground level.
The underground station platform will be located on the north side of the Eglinton Avenue directly under the main entrance. Thus, there is an opportunity to bring sunlight from this entrance down to the platform level.
In May 2015, Metrolinx announced plans to add Caledonia as a future stop on the GO Transit Barrie line. The environmental assessment for the GO station was expected to be complete in early 2016. However, the GO station portion will not open until the opening of Line 5 Eglinton.
The LRT station will be integrated with the planned GO station. There will be a pedestrian bridge connecting the GO station to the LRT station's main entrance. The GO station will have a second entrance at its north end where both the York Beltline Trail and Bowie Avenue end. In future, through the Regional Rail Express project, a second track is planned for the GO line to enable all-day, two-way GO train service.
The following routes would serve this station according to the report presented at the board meeting on February 25, 2016:
