Refurbishment plans

Via Rail announced in November 2009 that it would replace the historic 1872 Brockville station with a new $7-million facility.[3] The initial proposal was scaled back; on November 10, 2010, Via Rail unveiled a second proposed design for a new station building. The 2,400-square-foot (220 m²) building was to cost $4.5 million CDN and would have been wheelchair accessible, with space to accommodate expanded track lines.[4]

Once the proposed development was to have been completed, the old railway station building was planned to be demolished;[5] that move met with local opposition. As passenger volumes remain low, Via returned to the drawing board and proposed a million-dollar renovation of the existing station with a new roof, exterior brick, lighting, doors, and windows. An automatic door and accessibility improvements would be added for people with disabilities, and a building adjacent to the station would be demolished and replaced with a passenger shelter. According to Brockville mayor David Henderson, "It's clearly something that set off some alarm bells in the local community, because we do have a very historical aspect to this old city. What was good is that Via Rail, and the people at Via Rail, they responded."[3] The renovations were completed in July 2015.[6]
