Previous consultation related to the Barrie Allandale Transit Terminal and Downtown Mini Hub:

  • The City presented a virtual Public Information Session on the project on June 23, 2021. Attendees met the project team, learned about results from an earlier survey that have informed the design and program choices to date, received a progress update, and learned about previously developed conceptual plans.
  • In early 2021, and again in late 2022, the City invited residents to share their vision for the future of Barrie's transit network through Barrie’s Transit Vision.
  • In 2018, the City conducted online engagement for the Mobility Hub through a “priorities & preferences survey” and results were considered in the Allandale Mobility Hub Feasibility Study.
  • From January 26 to February 16, 2023, the City collected feedback on public art themes to be considered for the future Barrie Allandale Transit Terminal, through a survey and the ideas tool. The results will help inform the design and selection of public art features to be incorporated in the site.
  • From March 31 to April 18, 2023, the City collected feedback on potential names for the future Barrie Allandale Transit Terminal through a survey. Feedback will help inform the recommendation for the facility name.
  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    What should the future transit hub in Allandale be called? 

    The City is asking the public to provide feedback on potential names for the future transit hub to be located within Barrie's Allandale area, next to the existing railway. Once complete, this hub will host seamless transit services and connections between Simcoe County, Muskoka, and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).  

    Please indicate your preference on the shortlist of potential names via this survey, which should take no more than a few minutes to complete. Feedback will be collected until April 18, 2023. 

    About the shortlist of potential names: 

    City of Barrie staff and consultants applied industry best practices and considered general principles to prepare a shortlist of potential facility names.

    A facility name should be “easy” to understand, pronounce and remember, should be “self-locating” (meaning users know the specific area they are in by the name), be “distinctive” as it differentiates from other civic facilities and be “relevant” for the facility's intended purpose. All potential names are easy to understand, pronounce and remember. The shortlist of potential names is as follows:

    • Allandale Bus Terminal
    • Allandale Waterfront Bus Terminal
    • Barrie Allandale Bus Terminal

    Once the consultation period closes, staff will review the results and use the submitted feedback to help inform the final recommendation for the facility name.
