the former side platforms became island platforms. High-level sections were added at the southeast end of each platform near Bloor street for use by the Union Pearson Express, and the low-level sections for the Kitchener line were correspondingly lengthened at the northwest end. Other improvements to the station include an indoor concourse at street level with a staffed ticket booth, elevators, heated shelters, bicycle storage and signage. In February 2016 a kiss-and-ride was opened at Dundas Street West and Edna Avenue, connecting to a new second entrance to the station. New entrances Dundas West subway station has only a single entrance, on Dundas Street, so passengers connecting to Bloor station must walk eastward for some 200 metres along city streets. Since the subway platforms happen to extend eastward from the station entrance, a direct tunnel from the GO station to the east end of the subway station would be relatively short. In March 2011 when Metrolinx announced the station expansion plans associated with the Georgetown South Project, the second entrance to the station was to have a direct connection to the Dundas West subway platforms. In the fall of 2012 when construction began, work did not include an underground TTC connection, which was to be completed instead in 2017. However, in March 2016, Metrolinx officials said it will take five years to build a tunnel between the two stations because of the need to expropriate property. Metrolinx began proceedings to expropriate necessary properties in September 2017. In February 2019, construction was expected to start in late 2020 with the tunnel opening in 2022. However, as of July 2022, this project was still in the planning stages. Also, Metrolinx will construct a new entrance from Randolph Avenue which will have an entrance pavilion to access a pedestrian tunnel into the station. Construction is to start in 2023.
