One of the largest areas to be renovated is the Bay Concourse. It will increase in size from 40,000 square feet to 61,000 square feet. When complete, and combined with the York Concourse, Union Station’s total GO concourse area will be more than triple its original size to 123,000 sq. ft.
In addition to being Canada’s busiest transit hub, Union Station is also a National Historic Site. When the building opened back in 1927, trains ran on steam and the population of Toronto was a little over half a million people. There are now seven million people residing in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, and roughly 300,000 use the station every day. blog.metrolinx.com/2019/01/08/looking-back-to-look-ahead-making-progress-on-union-stations-transformation/
