      At this point who really cares what Doug Ford wants 🤷🏻‍♂️

      > concerns “about the harm it would cause to property owners, farms, sensitive environmental habitat”

      This is coming from a government that is in the process of building the 413 and the Bradford bypass which will do exactly this but for cars

      I’ll get downvoted for this (because it’s Doug ford or people don’t support public transit) but this is a good idea. Mass transit of any kind along the 401 corridor would be good for getting people out of cars and alleviating traffic. I’d like to see a regional train line along here that connects to TTC stops.

      I haven’t bothered researching this yet, will someone kindly tell me; would running the LRT alongside the 401 reduce the environmental impact vs. running a completely separated route? Would it be cheaper as a result?

      I know people will howl but I’m actually a supporter of mass transit.

      This guy is a transportation guru. From tunnels under the 401, to jets at Billy Bishop and now he is weighing in on an HSR alignment that had been studied to death. What is next? Ferries from St Catherine’s to Toronto?

      You can’t mirror the 401. It twists, it turns and that’s fine for cars and trucks but a train doing 300 km/h doesn’t have the manoeuvrability to mirror that.

      Wait, wasn’t a section dedicated for rail part of Ford’s tunnel under the 401 plan?

      The current Alto track is a smart idea because you can start to imagine in 30 years (yes we have to think on that time scale), people working in Toronto or Ottawa but living in Peterborough or Hawkesbury. It starts to enable people to spread out, which would be the opposite of what’s happening now with everyone concentrating on the big cities.

      The proposed 401 train is a great idea too because you can get people from Kingston to Pearson, or Kitchener/Waterloo to Pearson, reducing pollution and congestion on the 401 itself.

      He probably also wants to build a tunnel and maybe have it do some loopty loops.

      Much further north to the point people in Durham region are saying where the hell is this station. A long side the Canadian Pacific railway line.

      Dougie, noooo! Have you given up on the tunnel under the 401 so soon?

      It was such a good and practical and inexpensive and feasible idea.

      To anyone who’s struggling in life I say this:

      If a man as dumb as Doug Ford can be premier of Ontario for 8 years, you can overcome whatever afflictions you have!

      Alright, let’s discuss our preliminary plan in 2030, discuss our budget in 2060 and we will have it up and running in the next century.

      Saying to just run it along the 401 sounds simple, but high-speed rail needs long, straight track. Building it beside the 401 may be a lot more complicated than most think.

      Yet another soundbite solution meant to draw headlines from this premier about addressing a decades long project.

      Guess the 401 tunnel lost headline traction…

      Dofo should let the professionals handle this and keep politics out. Of wait who I am talking about. Dofo is going to muddle it all up.
