Spending for California's bullet train is dividing state leaders like never before
A plan is quietly gaining support to truncate California’s troubled high-speed rail construction project in the Central Valley and spend some of the remaining billions of dollars in Southern California and the Bay Area.
The changes would save about $5 billion that could help build a tunnel under downtown San Francisco and track improvements on the future bullet train alignment from Burbank to Anaheim.
Under Newsom’s plan, the bullet train would terminate in Merced, where passengers could transfer to San Francisco on the Alamont Corridor Express, a diesel-powered commuter train. Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula , who chaired the meeting in the absence of Transportation Committee chairman Fraiser, argued against Friedman, saying the Central Valley plan is consistent with the requirements of the bond act.
