A Master Land Use Plan and Area-specific Transportation Master Plan for the Central Oshawa Major Transit Station Area (M.T.S.A.) is underway. The M.T.S.A. Study Area is centered on the proposed Central Oshawa GO Station site located at 500 Howard Street, situated on the south side of the Canadian Pacific Rail corridor approximately midway between Simcoe St. S. and Ritson Rd. S.

The City of Oshawa invites community members to provide their feedback on the recommended design for the reconstruction of the First Ave./McNaughton Ave. corridor between Simcoe St. S. and Ritson Rd. S. The study is being undertaken in accordance with the Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (M.C.E.A.) process.

Have your say:

• Review the materials here on Connect Oshawa or on paper at Service Oshawa, located at City Hall (50 Centre St. S.) and share your feedback by emailing Engineering@oshawa.ca.
• Attend the drop-in Public Open House on Thursday, March 5, 2026 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Bobby Orr Room at the Civic Recreation Complex, 99 Thornton Rd. S. in Oshawa.

Feedback will be received until noon on Friday, March 20, 2026 and will be considered in a future staff report to be presented to the Economic and Development Services Committee.

Please note:

This is not a Metrolinx project. This is a City of Oshawa project initiated in response to Metrolinx's plan for the Lakeshore East extension and new provincial regulations for Major Transit Station Areas. The construction of the GO extension is a separate project being undertaken by Metrolinx.

Questions or concerns related to the Lakeshore East extension or GO Transit should be directed to DurhamRegion@metrolinx.com.
