A pedestrian walkway along the east side of tracks connects the north end of the platform to Esther Shiner Boulevard and a short walk along Old Leslie Street leads to the upper, automated entrance to the subway station. It has been proposed several times that the GO station should be moved to allow for a direct connection with the subway.[2][3]
There is a footbridge over the track, allowing pedestrians to walk between the station to Woodsworth Road. This bridge replaced a old, narrower bridge further north. This 30-metre (98 ft) metre bridge is enclosed in a mesh safety screen and has an anti-slip floor.[4]
