In April 2014, the station's headwalls were tunnelled through.^[3][4][5] As of February 2025,^[update] its opening has been postponed, with no new opening date provided.^[6]

Description

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.^[2]

The underground station platform will be located on the north side of the Eglinton Avenue directly under the main entrance. The station design provides an opportunity to bring sunlight from this entrance down to the platform level^[2] via an open shaft from the upper concourse.^[7]

As part of a program to install artworks at major interchange stations along Line 5 Eglinton, Caledonia station will feature the artwork Ride of Your Life by Janice Kerbel, consisting of a series of large-scale mosaic wall works which will be visible from the Line 5 platform level. The artwork shows mosaic images of signage with multiple typefaces and sizes.^[8]

Caledonia GO Station

In May 2015, Metrolinx announced plans to add Caledonia as a future stop on the GO Transit Barrie line.^[9][10] The environmental assessment for the GO station was expected to be complete in early 2016. Construction of the GO portion of the station is expected to take two years.^[11] As of 2022, construction was expected to begin in mid-2023 and conclude sometime after the opening of Line 5 Eglinton.^[12]

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.^[13][10]
