Bowmanville West Urban Centre and Major Transit Station (GO Train) Area Secondary Plan Update
More
We are awaiting Provincial Approval of Durham Region Official Plan Amendment #186 (ROPA 186) to approve the delineation of the Major Transit Station Area (MTSA). The Province has reopened their comment period regarding ROPA 186. Read the posting on the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) website. The Secondary Plan work plan and webpage will be updated following a decision regarding the MTSA designation.
Project description
The Bowmanville West Urban Centre and Major Transit Station (GO Train) Area is being planned to include a mix of uses with higher population densities and increased building heights to support the GO Train. Provincial and Regional policy supports this plan.
This area will include a diversity of housing, shopping, and services, along with new open spaces and boulevards. Walkable streets and sustainable design will create a vibrant neighbourhood where young families and older adults will enjoy living and working side by side. In addition, improved cycling and pedestrian opportunities will provide better connections to the rest of the community.
The new GO Train station and the related development are key drivers of change for this area The Bowmanville West Urban Centre will continue to be the largest commercial hub in Clarington.

GO Train and Transportation hubs
In anticipation of the GO train extension, Clarington is developing a high-level vision for the transportation hubs around the future Courtice and Bowmanville GO stations. The Municipality wants to ensure that development around the future stations is adequately planned, so these areas are more than just train stations; they also become destinations.
