Located in the town of Grimsby in the Regional Municipality of Niagara, it would be a stop on the Lakeshore West line, east of the proposed Confederation GO Station in Hamilton.

[6] As part of an environmental assessment for the broader rail expansion project to Niagara Region, three potential sites in Grimsby were evaluated for the cultural heritage impact of construction of a train station building and associated facilities such as parking and platforms.

[9] The April 2011 Niagara Rail Service Expansion Environmental Study Report recommended the Casablanca Avenue site as the preferred option for a train station in Grimsby.

[10] Among the reasons cited were that adjacent lands are primarily commercial, there are no cultural or natural heritage features to protect, no watercourses are impacted, and GO Transit already operates a GO Bus service at the site.

[7] The site is on the south side of the Canadian National Railway tracks, extending west of Ontario Street and east of Maple Avenue.

[8] It is a vacant 5.4 hectare parcel of land that straddles the Canadian National Railway tracks west of Casablanca Boulevard,[16][17] and is at mile 29.37 of the Grimsby Subdivision.

[20] The Niagara Rail Service Expansion Environmental Study Report specified the developed site will include a station building on the north side of the Canadian National Railway tracks, a parking lot with 470 spaces, a kiss and ride and taxi drop-off area, and bus bays.
