Bloomington GO Station is a train and bus station along the GO Transit network, located in the extreme northeast corner of Richmond Hill, Ontario. The station primarily serves the community of Oak Ridges and the town of Whitchurch–Stouffville. It is the northern terminus of the Richmond Hill line train service, which connects to Union Station in Toronto.[2][3][4] The station opened to the public on June 28, 2021.[1]
Construction of the station began in March 2017,[3] a few months after the completion of the Gormley GO Station, which opened in December 2016.[2] The station site cost an estimated $82.4 million to develop[3] (the final cost was unconfirmed publicly), and the multi-level parking structure and integrated station building was built to satisfy LEED Gold certification.[5]
