1990 was 31 years ago. Metrolinx was created in 2006, 6 years later. A lot could have happen in 15 years.They do not. They did not when Peterson promised it in the 1990 election (only politicians mentioned it, GO had not studied it even when the rail corridor was still available). Orillia GO rail service will never happen.
You know, even with an EA, the current government is pushing for Highway 413 to be built. As far as I can figure out, it is not good for the environment.You did it without any environmental or planning considerations. And if cost is no object anything could be possible. I could draw a line across from Kempenfelt Bay to Orillia and it would be even less than 17 km. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone suggest burying the line under Barrie until outside city limits. In any case it's too late, the Northlander (or whatever the successor will be named) will never serve Orillia or Barrie again.
I think it's safe to say we never thought he Northlander would return. It looks like it might.return soon. So, never say never.
