High-Speed Train Board Approves Cooperative Agreement With Southern
California Cities
( BW)(CA-CHSRA)(.) High-Speed Train Board Approves Cooperative Agreement With Southern
California Cities
The California
High-Speed Rail Authority approved a memorandum of understanding
Thursday with Southern California communities for close cooperation in
the development of the state's 200+ mph train.
The agreement approved Thursday is the latest in a series of memoranda
of understanding with local government agencies around the state – this
one with the Gateway Cities Council of Governments representing cities
along the Los Angeles-Anaheim section – providing for cooperation and
collaboration in development of the high-speed train through their
region.
"We can’t build this important project alone – we need partners. This
agreement and others we entered into like it are designed to establish a
positive and clear working relationship between the Authority and our
regional partners," said Board Chairman Curt Pringle.
In other action, the Board set a January 15, 2010 deadline for "requests
for expressions of interest" from local governments, public
transportation agencies, private companies and others who want to
participate in the planning, development and operation of maintenance
facilities on the 800-mile network linking the state's major cities.
Maintenance centers will be required throughout the state, but a number
of facilities – particularly a heavy maintenance depot – are expected to
be situated in the Central Valley because of its central location at the
heart of the system.
