The Star has since obtained unredacted versions that indicate Del Duca attempted to win approval for two other new GO stops that weren’t supported by studies: Park Lawn in South Etobicoke, and Highway 7-Concord in Vaughan. However, Metrolinx did not change its stance on Park Lawn or Highway 7-Concord, and those two stations were not approved. Three weeks before a June 28, 2016, meeting at which the Metrolinx board was set to decide on the new stations, agency officials briefed Del Duca on the plans. But a July 2017 internal Metrolinx briefing note reveals that in its own analysis, agency officials understood “M” referred to Del Duca himself. Neither Metrolinx nor Del Duca addressed the question when it was put to them by the Star.
