"Fifth, this site is linked to the existing GO transit line, thus offers the ability to have trains run into the site for game days to somewhat alleviate traffic concerns that have plagued our city."

Where have you heard it's linked to the existing GO transit line? There are no plans for any type of GO station or service down there that I've heard of.

While the tracks are theoretically connected, the whole reason all day GO service doesn't exist currently in Hamilton is because the tracks through downtown Hamilton are "at capacity" with freight traffic, and GO is not permitted to run any more trains on them.

That's why any plans for all day GO service has always involved a new station on James St. North.
