IF LOS ANGELES Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa wants to alleviate traffic congestion and decrease transportation energy use, he must join his San Francisco Bay Area foil in pushing for high-speed rail in California.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom lately exhausted a day in Sacramento to make the case for high-speed rail and to support AB 713, which will put the state's moribund rail bond issue on the 2008 ballot.
The California High Speed Rail Authority has developed a plan for a rail network to tie these major metropolitan areas with 200-mph passenger trains.
If implemented, it will mean that Los Angeles to San Francisco travel will take just three hours. Supported by past governors of both parties, the system will not only link the two cities, it will connect them with Sacramento, San Jose, the Central Valley, Riverside and San Diego.
