High-Speed Rail Fresno to Bakersfield - is anyone hopeful?

[Payman Kamali]

Hi All,

I've been following some of the news on the High-Speed Rail project planned for Fresno to Bakersfield. (see https://www.hsr.ca.gov/high_speed_rail/project_sections/fresno_bakersfield.aspx and https://www.fresnobee.com/news/politics-government/article229908329.html)

Does anyone have any updates on this? have they started building this out around town in Fresno?

And is anyone hopeful that it will be completed, and if it could actually inject positive growth into Fresno/Central Valley?

Thanks.
