California gets the go-ahead to build America’s first light high speed rail
Oh damn you California, I thought for sure that the east coast would get high speed rail first, but you beat us to it. Though I guess it’s somehow appropriate that California would become the first state in the US to greenlight a plan for light high speed rail, considering how vital the Transcontinental Railroad was in making California.
The nation’s first dedicated high-speed rail line, in California, finally got the green light. California lawmakers voted 21-16 to begin building the multibillion-dollar project that will save us from other rail forms.
The bill will allow California to begin selling $4.5 billion of voter-approved bonds. Of those, $2.6 billion will build the initial 130-mile stretch of the rail in Central Valley. This segment will run from Madera to Bakersfield. The completed project will run from Los Angeles to San Francisco and should cost $68 billion. At the moment, the bill is on its way to Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown for his signature.
