Nor have they identified how they are crossing Peterborough or the various towns along the route that have level crossings.
An environmental assessment needs some level of detail before they know what they are assessing.

We all now the devil is in the details u you are trying to make issues where they may not exist. Most of the ROW can easily be returned to rail use with powers the federal government has. The route of the line is planned, it is detailed cost estimates that are not.Anything can be done, but it all boils down to what is an acceptable cost. They may already have fairly detailed cost estimates that have not been made public. The whole basis of this project is recycling previous and existing ROW.
