The owner of the Island Rail corridor says the limitations of a single-lane highway justify an investment in trains on Vancouver Island, but a non-profit group says the costs are far too prohibitive to restore train service.
The Friends of Rails to Trails Vancouver Island (FORT-VI) envisions continuous, multi-use pathways from Courtenay to Victoria, and Parksville to Port Alberni, along the corridor. It says active transportation trails would be more affordable than rail, and provide health, economic and environmental benefits.
