Costa delays voter approval of high speed rail bonds
Senator Jim Costa announced he will spend two years educating the public instead of placing SB 1856, a $9 billion bond to build a San Francisco to Los Angeles high speed rail, on the 2002 ballot. He cites environmental studies and better fiscal conditions in 2004. The system would run at 200 mph on dedicated tracks, linking cities not currently connected, with San Francisco to Los Angeles in about 2 1/2 hours.
