Bullet Train Officials Wants to Start Work in LA County ASAP Curbed LA – ?July 1, 2014 …now the authority hopes to build the Palmdale-Burbank section somewhat concurrently with the Central Valley section … There is still uncertainty over the exact route the train would take between the two cities; the authority is considering a request from LA County Supervisor Michael Antonovich to tunnel 15 miles under Soledad Pass. Bullet train officials are also looking at how to get to Union Station; one possibility is eight miles of tunnels leading to Downtown, but construction on the section to central LA won’t happen for years, if not next decade. If the CHSRA plans to start service between Burbank and Merced by 2022, they will need to get to work on the segment from Burbank to Palmdale now. This project will take years of final planning, approvals and funding before construction can start . The construction in most of the San Joaquin Valley will likely be done before work can begin in Los Angeles County north of the San Fernando Valley. NB
