Summary
This would not meet the requirements of the original bond measure.California had originally planned to build a 520-mile system in the first phase that would allow trains to travel at speeds of up to 220 miles per hour in the traffic-choked state from Los Angeles to San Francisco and begin full operations by 2033. On October 28, 2010, the federal government awarded $715 million specifically for the high-speed rail project for the Central Valley segments from Merced to Fresno or Fresno-to-Bakersfield.There are legal issues around the $7.5 billion Proposition 1A bond measure.
