Milliken GO Station has been undergoing redevelopment since 2019 to support future growth, including two way, all day 15-minute interval service between Union Station and Unionville Station. Once complete, along with the grade-separated crossing and the pedestrian bridge over Steeles Avenue, there will be a longer renovated existing platform, a new second station platform and track, two pedestrian tunnels and elevators, new shelters, and access from both platforms to a covered pedestrian bridge over Steeles Avenue. The redevelopment was planned to be completed by the end of 2022.
On May 8, 2023, the south tunnel and the east-side platform were opened for customer use. On that date, trains started to use the east platform only while the west platform was being upgraded. A north tunnel near Steeles Avenue was also available.
