High-Speed Rail (HSR) - Toronto/Pearson/Kitchener/London

[mpd618]

It's disappointing that the "Moving Ontario Forward" plan has the conceptual alignment bypassing Guelph entirely with a new line detouring to the south of the city.  This would kill any chance of later implementing a non-express stop without rebuilding the line through the city.  However this plan is from before Windsor was included, so maybe that conceptual alignment could be reconsidered.

I think building high-speed rail that by-passes Guelph is a much, much easier problem than making the corridor through Guelph suitable for high-speed rail. One thing I really like about the current project is that it limits its scope substantially, which gives it a much higher chance of actually getting built.
