The California High Speed Rail Authority has released their recommended alternatives for the route between San Jose and San Francisco. This is rife with NIMBY issues, because the very rich, cosmopolitan residents of the Peninsula are all for "Green" transit, as long as it doesn't go through their neighborhood.
For Kansas City-based readers, this issue is similar to figuring out the best route to take a train traveling 100+mph through the best parts of Leawood and Mission Hills.
Great Fun!
Since I'm local to Sunnyvale, its interesting to see they're recommending going underground, either as a tunnel or an open trench. I can only imagine how disruptive that is going to be. They're already tearing the streets up for the Murphy Avenue improvement project.
