California high speed rail plan to prioritize San Francisco to Los Angeles route
The California State Senate passed a bill late last week to amend the bond measure for the high speed rail system that is going before state voters in the November election. If passed by the Assembly and signed by the Governor, the new language of the measure will ensure that the Los Angeles to San Francisco route (the “backbone” of the system) will get priority in the construction process. Before this change, the high speed rail system could have been built piecemeal, with different local links being built in any particular order. While this is smart policy, there are still many obstacles to be overcome before construction on this transit system can begin. (The least of which, being voter approval of the ballot measure in November.)
