Alto High Speed Rail

[lrt's friend]

It would be foolish not to have 2 stations in Ottawa, to save a few minutes. Ottawa has spent decades building rapid transit to both stations, with further plans at Fallowfield. Ottawa has become a very spread out city and to add an hour to reach your destination from a single central station defeats the benefits of what we are trying to accomplish.

Regarding Confederation Heights. It might be a transit hub, maybe, but that is not part of OC's current plan A further problem is the lack of rail that goes directly downtown

One of the issues with current VIA route to Montreal is service to small towns. Then the consideration of maintaining service during construction. It was mentioned about a similar meeting in Madoc. This surprised me, so I asked about milk run service that would stop in a few smaller communities a couple times a day by building sidings at the station. Not in the card as I was told
