"[A] request does not necessarily mean that a property will need to be acquired for the project or that the future train will run near it."
"Those who agree will receive financial compensation and 'comprehensive' information, including possible access to a dedicated Alto representative."
"The electric trains, which will travel as fast as 300 km/h, would first run between Ottawa and Montreal under current plans."
"There is also some appetite for a stop in Kingston, Ont., and Premier Doug Ford supported that option last week."
Alto and its partner Cadence are progressing to the next stage of environmental studies for a high-speed rail project estimated to cost between $60 billion and $90 billion. They will request access from private landowners to evaluate soil, waterways, and wildlife, although this does not guarantee land acquisition. Planned stops include Toronto, Quebec City, Ottawa, and Montreal, with construction aimed to begin in 2029. Public consultations are concluding, with ongoing online feedback opportunities.
