Ontario announced plans to build a new GO station beside Lakeview Village development in Mississauga last year .

Provincial transit agency Metrolinx recommended against building the station.

Report: New station would bring too many complications for too few benefits.

Government refused to say whether it would keep promise it had made or heed advice of its expert planning agency.

Metrolinx recommended adding a new Lakeview GO station to the existing route or replacing the Long Branch GO station in the westernmost tip of Toronto .

The Ford government has repeated the promise to build a new GO station on the Lakeshore West Line in 2024 .

The premier’s office did not respond to a question from Global News asking if Ford remains committed to the promise.
