Appleby GO Mobility Hub
The Appleby GO Mobility Hub is a locally recognized Mobility Hub centred around the Appleby GO Station. The Appleby GO Mobility Hub study area boundary is comprised of an area of approximately 800m around the GO Station, south of Highway 403, along Appleby Line and extending along the Fairview Street corridor and north along Queensway Drive.
As Burlington grows over the next 20+ years, complete, compact neighbourhoods will be built around the city's GO stations and the downtown. These areas are called Mobility Hubs.
The City is creating an Area Specific Plan (secondary plan) to guide future growth in the Appleby GO Mobility Hub. The plan will focus on creating a complete community that is environmentally-friendly, infrastructure-efficient, walkable, bikable, and supports local and regional transit with a mix of uses such as employment, housing, recreation and shopping.

Latest Update
In May 2017, we heard from the community about what people value in the area, and in October 2017 we received community feedback on two draft concepts showing different options where future growth could be accommodated. With that feedback, a high-level preferred concept for the Appleby GO Mobility Hub was presented to the Planning and Development Committe of Council for consideration on Dec. 4, 2017. Please see the "Past Events" section of this webpage for more information on the study process to-date.
We've taken that input, along with information from ongoing technical studies, to produce a draft precinct plan for the Appleby GO Mobility Hub. The draft precinct plan will define a vision for areas within the Mobility Hub, to guide future development through the use of land such as residential and commerical, height, urban design considerations and more.
On Thursday, May 10, 2018, the city hosted a public open house at the Appleby Ice Centre, where the draft precinct plan for the Appleby GO Mobility Hub was presented.
