Some Pickering councillors apparently don't understand that the RNUP is "urban" and already crossed by several of the busiest CN/CP rail lines in Canada, carrying all Montréal-Toronto freight/VIA Rail trains, as well as GO trains. The RNUP does not own land occupied by existing "public infrastructure" such as communications and power substations, plus hydro, and rail and road corridors. Pickering councillors are apparently unaware that the RNUP Act specifically allows up to 200 hectares (494 acres) of parkland to be used for future "public utilities or transportation corridors." The Park has been planned to accommodate transportation growth, including any high speed rail corridor, yet some councillors used the Park (and potential future airport) as reasons to shoot down a sensible gateway proposalDurhamRegion.com
