ALTO Proposed High Speed Rail Through Township of Stone Mills

Over the last few weeks, the Township has received inquiries in relation to the ALTO high-speed rail network.  

ALTO currently has a consultation period available and is inviting the public to participate through their online consultation. ALTO has published a map which provides for two proposed corridors for the rail network, one of which would travel through the southern portion of the Township of Stone Mills. 

ALTO's consultation platform provides the opportunity for feedback as well as an opportunity to view an interactive Corridor Map where feedback can be provided about potential alignment locations, areas of concerns, locations where an alignment may not be appropriate.  ALTO encourages the public to share comments or perspective as all feedback will help inform the next stages of their project development.

At the February 9, 2026 Regular Council meeting, ALTO provided a presentation to Council about the High Speed Rail Project; as a result Township of Stone Mills Council, passed a unanimous motion at this meeting, opposing the proposed southern route. The meeting can be viewed on the Townships YouTube page and the minutes are available on the townships Civicweb Portal. 

To view upcoming Open Houses and Virtual Session hosted by ALTO, please view their online calendar.  

Currently the Township has no further information than what has been provided to the public.  As more information becomes available, the Township will make every effort to share this with the public.
