Milton R.A.I.L. - Residents Affected by Intermodal Lines
In 2001
In 2001 Milton RAIL's mission was to research existing and proposed intermodal sites in North America and their effect on area municipalities. To summarize the possible effect a CN Intermodal Terminal on Milton residents and make the information available to the public. We have done this.
March 2015 Announcement
RAIL members were present for the initial announcement of the proposed intermodal hub in March 2015. We made our voices heard at the meeting and let it be known that Halton Residents did not want the yard in 2001 and they still don't want it, we have not changed our position.
Milton RAIL, is not opposed to intermodal transport we understand it's role in our society. However, we recognise that a facility such as this belongs on industrial land with the infrastructure to support it, and it MUST have IMMEDIATE access to a major highway.
The proposed terminal is 11.5 km from either of the major HWY's; begin HWY 401 and the QEW. It is also 7.5 km from the HWY 407, however we realize it is unlikely that any trucks would use this route.CN needs to find a more appropriate location.
RAIL continues to reseach and share information regarding intermodal terminals. Updates, and action items are listed on our website, facebook page, twitter as well as through our private email list.

Hon. Minister Wilkinson, we ask you to reverse your decision: Refuse Approval of the CN Hub
Minister Wilkinson is quoted on Twitter saying, "Help us build a healthier, fairer, and more resilient future that we can be proud to pass on to our children and grandchildren."
Prime Minister Trudeau stated, "Canadians don't have to choose between clean air and good jobs. This strengthened climate plan will help us build a healthier, fairer, and more resilient future that we can be proud to pass on to our children and grandchildren."
We, as Canadian citizens and residents of Halton, want to believe those statements to be truthful. However, approving the CN logistic hub makes us feel those statements are only relevant in select situations and do not include us. We ask where is the fairness in that?
We consider all Canadians' health and lives matter, and we believe you do too! Please make that a truthful statement for all Canadians inclusively.
Adam van Koeverden MP Milton, voicing the stand of Milton and Halton residents to Ottawa.

CN LOGISTIC HUB Approved
with 325 Conditions:
​
Hon. Minister Wilkinson said, "Help us build a healthier, fairer, and more resilient future that we can be proud to pass on to your children and grandchildren."
That is what our community has stood up for for twenty years and now that has been taken away from us.
Approval of the CN Hub in Milton is not fair and hypocritical.
Respectfully send your comments to our Minsiter of Environment, Hon. Minister Jonathan Wilkinson. Jonathan.Wilkinson@parl.gc.ca
