Alto Says GTA May Need Second High-Speed Rail Station
Alto chief executive Martin Imbleau said a suburban stop could draw more riders while the final downtown Toronto link is built.
- On Thursday, Alto CEO Martin Imbleau stated the Greater Toronto Area will probably require a secondary station, departing from the original single-stop plan.
- The federal government currently mandates seven stops: Toronto, Peterborough, Ottawa, Laval, Que., Montreal, Trois-Rivières, Que., and Quebec City, with the network hosting 72 trains daily.
- Imbleau noted a suburban station would attract more regional passengers and provide line access while construction on the costlier downtown Toronto leg continues.
- Grassroots coalitions of farmers and the federal Conservatives oppose the project, arguing the rail corridor would divide communities and cost taxpayers billions.
- Although the GTA station plan remains under review with no final decision made, Alto continues planning the high-speed network to improve regional connectivity.
