Alternative high-speed rail proposal includes eastern Ontario stations

This is obviously beyond the scope of the first phases of Alto, but personally I would love to see the southern corridor brought into the HSR network in the future. I know we probably can't run it down the 401 like some seem to suggest, but I think you could do it somewhere close to the 401 and overlapping it in some places with bridges to straighten our the curves and ride the hills.

-- First Phase (North) Future Phase (South)
Type High Speed High Frequency
Western Start Peterborough GTA East (Markham)
Stops Port Hope/Cobourg
Stops Trenton/Belleville
Stops Kingston
Stops Ottawa Brockville
Stops Cornwall
Stops Laval Vaudreuil-Dorion
Terminus Montreal Markham

That southern route would capture around 850,000 residents that could be added to the HSR network once they connect back in at Toronto or Montreal.
