Alto's high-speed rail plan faces regional pushback over environmental concerns and lack of consultation ahead of public comment deadline.
Alto is advancing its high-speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City, beginning environmental assessments that include voluntary access to private land for data collection.
The $60–90 billion project, with planned stops in Ottawa, Montreal, and other cities, aims to start construction in 2029.
However, regional opposition is growing, with mayors of Leeds and Grenville and Quinte Conservation unanimously opposing the southern and northern corridors due to environmental risks, lack of consultation, and limited local benefits.
Tweed council also rejected the northern route, demanding more transparency and detailed impact assessments.
Public consultations conclude March 25, with officials urging federal and provincial leaders to reconsider the route and expand stakeholder engagement.
