As Alto moves ahead with its plan to build high-speed rail between Toronto and Quebec City, landowners along the potential corridor are raising questions about what the project will mean for them. Alto president and CEO Martin Imbleau joined Ottawa Morning on Wednesday to provide some answers. Q: How do you respond to concerns from landowners worried about high-speed rail possibly disrupting their land? Q: Why can’t the project follow existing corridors such as Via Rail and Highway 401? A: Via Rail is not a good option because it has so many curves and you follow the CN [Rail corridor].
