And just where would you put that right of way? The TTC corridors as proposed have space for double tracked heavy freight rail, high speed intercity rail / maglev, and light commuter rail.
I make no excuses or allusions to the fact that I'm not a transportation engineer. But those who are do a poor job of informing the rest of us.
And "right of way" is just another silly piece of crap for attorneys to grapple over. Nothing more and nothing less. Rather like eminent domain. It's like you work for it, you pay for it, but is it EVER really YOURS?
