The federal government is considering adding a high-speed rail stop in Kingston, Ontario, according to statements from the office of Transportation Minister Steven MacKinnon. MacKinnon says he has directed Alto to assess the option, with a staff-issued statement prepared in advance of a planned formal announcement in Kingston later in the day. The proposal discussed by sources centers on a high-speed rail connection between Quebec City and Toronto. While details of the route alignment and station design are not provided in the reports, both outlets describe Kingston as a potential stop that would be evaluated as part of the broader project planning. The government is also looking to fund the route, with reporting referencing an estimated cost associated with the overall initiative. Coverage indicates that Kingston-specific consideration is in the evaluation stage, pending the formal announcement and subsequent analysis by Alto. No final decision or timeline for construction is described in the available summaries.
