The move followed a Star investigation that revealed Metrolinx approved the stations despite reports that recommended against them. A provincial committee has asked the auditor general to review two controversial new GO Transit stations , after Liberal MPPs abruptly dropped an effort to block the request. The Metrolinx board approved the two stops last year as part of a package of 12 new stations proposed for a $13.5-billion expansion of GO service. Board members then met in public and approved a list of 12 new stations, including the two controversial stops. Since the Star’s investigation, Metrolinx board chair Rob Prichard has ordered a review of Kirby and Lawrence East.
