The California high speed rail governing board approved the final environmental documents Thursday for the San Jose-to-San Francisco section, completing clearance of the project's Northern California leg.
the environmental impact report and statement for the roughly 50-mile stretchHigh speed rail officials have now approved the environmental clearance documents for 420 miles of the project's 500-mile span between San Francisco and Anaheim.
The San Jose-to-San Francisco section of the project is expected to have three stops at the San Jose Diridon Station, the Millbrae transit center and the Fourth and King Street Caltrain station. Once fully complete, the section will be extended to terminate at the Salesforce Transit Center. The project was kick-started in 2008 when voters approved a $9.95 billion bond measure to support a high-speed rail network linking Northern and Southern California, which was initially projected to cost roughly $30 billion and be completed by 2030.
Construction has steadily moved along in recent years, though, with a 119-mile stretch between Madera and Wasco in the Central Valley on track to be the project's first completed section in the next year.
