High-speed rail link between Palmdale and Burbank, California, gets environmental approval
LOS ANGELES (CNS) — The long-planned but often-delayed project to build a high-speed rail system between San Francisco and Los Angeles reached a major milestone with the approval of the final environmental impact report on the Palmdale-Burbank section of the line, and reports were pending Friday on other sections of the project.
The 38-mile segment was the last between the two major cities awaiting final environmental approval.
“Today’s approval is more than a historic milestone: it closes the gap between Los Angeles and San Francisco,” Tom Richards, chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority board, said in a statement after the board’s vote. “We appreciate our Authority team and their tireless support and collaboration with local and regional agencies and stakeholders as we work together to improve transportation in California for future generations.”
Authority officials noted that the Palmdale-Burbank section will be largely underground, with four separate tunnels accounting for about 30 of the 38 miles. The tunnels will run under the community of Acton and through the Angeles National Forest. Travel time between Palmdale and Burbank is expected to be about 17 minutes by high-speed rail.
Trains on the high-speed line are expected to travel at more than 200 mph.
Environmental reports are still pending on the approximately 50-kilometer stretch of the planned rail line between Los Angeles and Anaheim – the last part of the system included in what is considered “Phase 1” of the high-speed rail network. A second phase of the system would ultimately extend from San Francisco to Sacramento in the north, and from Anaheim to San Diego in the south.
Much of the ongoing construction on the project is taking place in the Central Valley, where there are 25 active construction sites. It was unclear when construction activities on the project would begin in Los Angeles County.
