Barrie Allandale Transit Terminal and Downtown Mini Hub

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.

The Allandale Transit Mobility Hub (ATMH) will be located within Barrie's Allandale area to centrally locate an inter-regional transit hub with adjacency to the existing rail corridor. This hub will host seamless transit services and connections between Simcoe County, Muskoka, and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). 

Opportunities for public art may be considered at various locations within the future site, including:

• Exterior of the main building
• Interior waiting area of the main building
• Exterior publicly accessible plaza

Take the survey to give your feedback on what public art themes or functionality you’d like to see incorporated into the Allandale Transit Mobility Hub. 

The survey will take approximately five minutes to complete. Thank you in advance for taking the time to provide your feedback.

Welcome to the Mobility Hub priorities & preferences survey. Please share your feedback on which amenities are important to you and the building design you prefer.

Your feedback will be considered when developing a recommendation to Council to help ensure the proposed Barrie Transit Mobility Hub in Allandale addresses rider's needs and integrates into the surrounding neighbourhood.
