@AnnaAnthro@mastodon.social The strongest objection to the #Alto project is its cost. Does this article address it? $60B to $90B could build many desirable things, like hospitals and schools. Even if we dedicated it to trains, maybe more LRTs and subways in Canadian cities would do more good than inter-urban rail. I'm looking for arguments that address those objections head-on. #HSR

@mpjgregoire@cosocial.ca @AnnaAnthro@mastodon.social #HSR provides greener, cleaner transport and rqilways do cost lots of money. Depenant upon pricing and convenience, rail tends to bring other social and economic benefits along the corridor. #Alto does make sense as does something in Western Canada. Cross country will be a far harder sell. Most lines go through large population centres but Central Canada will unlikely be economic viable even with social benefits included.

A repeat post without credit to the original post because it is lost in the scrolls of time… #Transportation has opened consultations on the new routes for #HSR from #Ottawa to #Montreal. If you are in either city or anywhere between, read this and make your voice heard! - https://www.transportaction.ca/topics/intercity-rail-and-bus/alto-hsr-consultations-launch-with-new-route-options/ #rail #urban #transit #urbanist #CitizensDuty
