TOP TRAIL NEWS
 

Is your trail impacted by the potential Alto High Speed rail project?


The friends of the Cataraqui Trail write to OTC:

We have become aware of the possible use of the Cataraqui Trail as part of the future Alto Train route. You can see where the proposed southern Alto train route traverses the trail via Alto’s interactive map: https://en.consultation.altotrain.ca/shaping-the-canada-of-tomorrow-with-high-speed-rail/places/interact-map

The Friends are of course concerned and passed the motion below. 

Motion:

That the Friends of the Cataraqui Trail express opposition to the location of the ALTO High Speed Rail system along any section of the Cataraqui Trail and encourage members of the Friends of the Trail to express their own opinions to ALTO. 

Alto is encouraging feedback via a brief. If your organizations are interested. Here is the link to submit a brief: https://en.consultation.altotrain.ca/shaping-the-canada-of-tomorrow-with-high-speed-rail/surveys/upload-brief

The OTC will be sending in its own brief, we encourage OTC members impacted by the railway to also write their own brief.
