IRVINE
Already at the forefront in pushing for a countywide rail system, Irvine’s leaders now hope to bring a statewide, high-speed railway to the county as well.
In her joint roles as mayor and chairwoman of the Irvine Transportation Authority, Christina L. Shea is inviting California’s High Speed Rail Authority to hold its Feb. 16 meeting at Irvine’s City Hall.
The California High Speed Rail Authority, which was created in 1996, proposes to build a 700-mile transit system that would run from Sacramento and the Bay Area to San Diego. The project is estimated to cost $25 billion and would take about 16 years to build.
